A 42-year-old woman, Fatima Rahman, from Chad Republic has been remanded to
the Ikoyi Custodial Centre for the alleged murder of her co-wife, Adizat, at
her residence in Alejo Street, Ijede, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
Fatima was arraigned on Tuesday before Magistrate P. E Nwaka at a
Magistrates’ Court sitting in Yaba on one count of murder.
She was
said to have been angry when she learnt that her husband had married another
wife.
She reportedly visited the pregnant woman in her residence under the
guise of being a nurse and stabbed her to death.
A neighbour of the
deceased who saw her when she arrived at the residence was said to have
indicted her after deep wounds were found on the deceased’s neck and head.
According to the prosecutor, Thomas Nurudeen, the defendant
committed the offence on April 9, 2023, around 12.40pm at 43, Alejo Street,
Ijede Road, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
