Wife Confesses Killing Husband in Osun State – ‘He Didn’t Offend Me, I Had Sex With Him Before Killing Him’

Mrs Omotayo Salawudeen, a 39-year-old housewife based in Osogbo, Osun State reveals that she killed her husband just because she wanted to.

The murder suspect made this revelation to police and newsmen yesterday that she had sex with Alhaji Hakeem Salawudeen, her husband before killing him with the aid of an hired killer.

Omotayo said that she regretted her action, adding that her deceased husband did nothing to warrant his death but it was just her desire to kill him.

“My husband of 17 years was a good man who took care my needs and that of our three children”.

“He didn’t offend me, I was just mad at him and after having sex with him, I took a pillow and covered his month and Oladapo Dolapo, the guy I hired for the job stabbed him to death”, she lamented.

Dolapo, the 24-year-old suspected hired killer explained that the woman enticed him with promises of a befitting accommodation and other largesse to punish her husband by killing him.

Olafimihan Adeoye, Osun state police commissioner, while parading the suspects said the incident occurred on May 27, 2017.

The Osun police chief stated that one Engr. Salawudeen Adesina Jimoh of No 3, Engr. Adesina Salawu Street, Osogbo reported the incident on May 12, 2017 to the police.

“Engr Jimoh told the police that on that fateful day at about 3:00am, two unknown persons entered his brother’s house at No 11, Adeniran Street, Alleluyah Estate, Osogbo and stabbed him to death with knife and nothing was carted away”.

Based on the report, police directives and other officers on patrol visited the scene of the incident where inscriptions: “No Price No Pay, Aye Axe And Forgiveness Is A Sin” were found on the wall of the house of the deceased.

On police enquiry after his arrest, Dolapo confessed that he was hired by the wife of the deceased to kill the husband with promises of a better life.

However, investigations by the police revealed that Omotayo participated actively in the killing of her husband.

Meanwhile, one Friday Augustine (28), Ojo Tifase (19) and Augustine Adepegba (60), suspected to be robbers were also paraded yesterday before newsmen.

Two unregistered Bajaj motorcycles, one single cut to size barrel, damaged local made pistol, four empty sell of AK 47 ammunition and one cutlass were some of the items recovered from the suspects.
