Housewife Kills Husband With Pressing Iron For Allegedly Impregnating Another Woman
Category: Crime News
A housewife, identified as Motunrayo, has allegedly killed her husband, Alaba,
aka Bama, in the Abule-Egba area of Lagos State.
Punch Metro
gathered that the couple had an argument at their house, which degenerated
into a fight.
Motunrayo was alleged to have plugged a pressing
iron, which she used to inflict burns on her husband’s chest.
The
victim was said to have died from the injuries.
Punch
correspondent learnt that the hotelier and his wife, alongside their three
children, just returned from a vacation in Dubai.
Until Alaba’s
death on Monday, January 14, 2022, he was said to be the owner of the Bama
Hotel and Suites in the Abule Egba area.
There are, however, two
different versions of what led to the fight between the couple.
A
man, Kelly Hassino, claimed that Motunrayo discovered that her husband
impregnated another woman.
In a post on Facebook, he wrote, “The
wife of the owner of the popular Bama hotel and suites in Agbule Egba in Lagos
state has killed him last night while sleeping for finding out he impregnated
a Lady!
“Bama as he’s fondly called just returned from an expensive
vacation in Dubai along with her and their three kids. They have been married
for 8 years.
“Worse of all was the manner in which she killed him.
She first of all drugged him and when he slept off and lost all his senses,
she plugged a pressing iron to the hottest and burnt him on several parts of
his body until he died.
“This is callous a disturbingly painful, a
cold and calculated murder. Dear wives, stop killing your husbands over
infidelity.”
However, a source revealed that during interrogation, Motunrayo claimed that
she had an argument with her husband because he refused to sack a worker.
The source said Motunrayo revealed that during a fight that
ensued, she used a hot iron to burn Alaba’s chest.
The source added, “After the attack on Sunday, she said her husband and her
junior brother left the house to relax at a bar before returning home later in
the day. When he returned, she said they gisted and went to sleep.
“She
said she advised her husband to apply something on his chest, but he said she
should not worry because it was a small thing and it would heal.
“She later said that they were having fun the following day when
her husband suddenly started gasping for breath. They wore clothes and rushed
him to a hospital where he died on that same day. She never said she drugged
her husband.
“We also heard the story of her husband impregnating
someone and it led to a quarrel between them. But investigation is still
ongoing.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Adekunle
Ajisebutu, confirmed the incident, adding that Motunrayo and three other
suspects had been arrested in connection with the crime.
He said,
“His body has been deposited in the Yaba Mainland Hospital’s morgue for an
autopsy. The deceased’s wife and three others have been arrested in connection
with the suspected murder case.”
