Man kills his wife’s lover for having sex on their matrimonial bed.
The Ogun State Police Command has arrested Ezekiel Igbokwe, a 32-year-old businessman, for allegedly killing his wife’s lover, Victor Olatundun.
According to the police, Igbokwe on July 27 at about 12am at Peace Lodge on Itura Street, Awa Ijebu, Ijebu-North Local Government Area of Ogun State, killed Olatundun after catching him having sex with his wife on their matrimonial bed.
Narrating the incident on Thursday when he was paraded in Abeokuta along with his 28-year-old wife, Igbokwe said he was very angry when he saw Olatundun making love with his wife, Juliet in their matrimonial home.
He said, “I travelled to Onitsha on July 25, and when I came back on July 27, I met a man inside my room making love to my wife. Then we started fighting. The man was stronger than me. When I saw he could overpower me, I got a cutlass in my toilet and dealt him blows in the hand and neck. On the way to the hospital, the fuel in the car finished and he died.”
He said he never meant to kill the victim.
The couple have three children.
Juliet, who wept like a baby, said, she got married to Igbokwe in 2005, but her husband did not take good care of her and the children. She said her husband had always fought her . Most times when they had quarrel the husband would leave home for months.
Juliet who sells local snuff said she had never known any other man aside her husband until Olatundun mounted pressure on her for months.
She said, “He had been disturbing me that he wanted to marry me, but I said I was married.
“On the day of the incident, I really can’t say if he used a charm on me. All I know is that he called me that he wanted to see me and I told him not to come; he knew my house and when he came, I didn’t know what happened.
“He used to come and deliver snuff to me in the house. On the day of the incident, he told me he was coming from somewhere and that it was already late. He wanted to sleep in our place till the next day. He didn’t know that my husband was away. He tried to sleep with me, but later he didn’t.”
Igbokwe said he had never seen any man with his wife before.
