A bricklayer, Akinyemi Edgar Koja , who had been on the run after allegedly strangling his wife , Ajoke, to death in their apartment in Agemowo area of Badagry, last December, has been arrested by the Police in Lagos.

Vanguard learned that he was picked in an undisclosed area around Lagos Island , where he took refuge since the incident occurred.

However, during interrogation, the suspect stated that he carried out the act out of jealously , following what he described as his late wife’s adulterous acts.

Recall that after allegedly killing his 28-year-old wife who was a graduate, he dumped her corpse inside a well within his area , before taking to his heels. It was gathered that there had been a lingering quarrel between the couple until the unexpected occurred.

In a move to arrest the fleeing husband, the Lagos State Police Command declared him wanted . Police sources hinted that he was traced to his hideout through his telephone calls .

Sources further hinted that the suspect contacted some of his relatives to plead with his in-laws on his behalf, so that the matter could be settled amicably.

Report had it that Ajoke’s murder could not have been unconnected with her intention to travel out of the country.

But the suspect alleged during interrogation at the State Criminal Intelligence and Investigations Department , SCIID that his late wife was having an extra marital affair.

How she was killed

Explaining how she was killed , the suspect said: “ I strangled her at night while she was sleeping. She was sleeping around with other men because she felt I am a poor man and she did not hide it. That fateful night, I suffocated her with pillows . When I discovered she was dead, I dumped the body inside a well close to our apartment . I ran away to make it look like I was not around when the incident happened. “

The suspect was Tuesday charged before Magistrate’s Court 12, Ebute Meta, for murder, from where he was remanded in prison custody by the Magistrate, Mrs Bola Folarin Williams, with the case adjourned to March 28 for hearing.

Are you sure she is a graduate? Coz a normal graduate won't indulge in Adultery

Well , RIP to the late wife .. ,if you happen to be vindicated and exonerated from this trouble you’ve landed yourself, next time , you will learn to curtail your anger and jealousy ..

No matter what you don't have the right to take a life


Except in self defense case senerios...


In this case walking away would have been the best self defense option.

Law... take your cause...

final verdict...

Nigeria drifting into anarchy since APC came on board.

I'd just advice that next time he should marry a good woman.

Woman trouble! I left my marriage of 1year cos of this. Constant quarells , no peace and issues, inlaw issues, disrespectful wife that always play the victim card, rude, lying and discontented . I was living in hell. If devil use me and if i hit her and she faints na police case. I remembered that my bible says: "It is better to dwell in the desert than in the same house with a problematic woman" (Proverbs 21:19) So i just pack my things jejely when my rent was due to an unknown place. She's cooling her heels in her father's house now since then its been peace unlimited. My colleagues at work say am now fatter and fresher kai

she self why did she cheat

ENDTIME BRICKLAYER

cold world

The woman must have been a pain in the ass... Rip

I still don't understand why a human being will deliberately kill another human being with whom he/she had spent some lovely moments except in a case of self defence.

Thou shalt not kill

OhMyGod!!!
Using that his strong stiff hands he uses to carry blocks on a woman

So killing her is the solution

Why not divorce her

So he killed his wife


OK, let justice prevail with immediate alacrity

You deserve whatever is coming your way, if you know a lady is not feeling you again, just let go. For every adam, their is an eve out there. You messed up your life, for nothing and now you're going down for a long long time, and that's me been nice about it.
