Female lawyer Udeme Otike-Odibi, has confessed to the killing of her husband Symphorosa Otike-Odibi last year.

A prosecution witness on Wednesday gave graphic detail of the gruesome killing, before an Igbosere High Court, Lagos, News Agency of Nigeria reports.

The witness, Olusegun Bamidele, an assistant superintendent of police in the Homicide Section, State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Panti, told the court that Udeme, in her statement, confessed to killing her husband and cutting his manhood.

Udeme was arraigned on June 13, 2018 on a two-count charge of murder and misconduct with regard to a corpse by Lagos State Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Titilayo Shitta-Bey.

According to the prosecutor, Udeme stabbed Symphorosa, also a lawyer, to death and mutilated his corpse by cutting off his genitals on May 3, 2018, at their Diamond Estate, Sangotedo, Lekki, Lagos home.

The prosecutor said the offences contravened Sections 165 (b) and 223 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015.

Udeme pleaded not guilty and was remanded in prison custody.

At the resumed hearing on Wednesday, the prosecutor called Bamidele, a police veteran, as the state’s final witness.

Bamidele told the court that as the head of a team that investigated the killing, he personally recorded the defendant’s statement.

He said that Udeme wrote a detailed confessional statement during an interactive session with her in protective custody in the police hospital.

According to him, the defendant was recuperating from what doctors described as “superficial and self-inflicted wounds,” when she made her statement.

He said the defendant spoke freely after identifying herself as a lawyer.

Bamidele said:

“While she (Udeme) was writing her statement, it was an interactive session. I put questions to her, she would explain it to me and put it down in writing.

“She stated in her statement that she was married to the late Symphorosa and that they were having marital issues.

“She stated that the deceased was having extra-marital affairs and whenever she raised the issue with him, his responses were not satisfactory, he appeared nonchalant.

“She said that on May 2, 2018, she was preparing to travel to United Kingdom when she checked the bedside locker for her marriage certificate. When she could not find it, she went to the deceased where he lay on the bed and asked him about it but there was no response, the response given was not okay.

“She had a discussion with him and there was hot exchange of words, which made her to go to the kitchen and get a frying pan and knife.

“When she returned to where the deceased lay, she hit him on the head with the frying pan and said ‘Tell me, what is in your mind that you are withholding.

“She stated that the deceased called his mother to report her conduct. She continued to hit the deceased on the head again and again. Finally, she confirmed that she used the knife to stab the deceased in his abdomen.

“She also said while the deceased was lying on his back, she was still angry. She sat beside him, looking at his intestines coming out of the deceased and said: ‘If this your penis is the one that is giving you license to have the feeling of another person, it’s better we cut it off,’ she proceeded to do so with the same knife she used in stabbing him and hanged a piece of the penis in his right hand”.

Bamidele explained that later that night, Udeme sent her “close friend” Maureen Offor, a WhatsApp message which read: “I have done something terrible.”

NAN further reports that the witness said further investigation showed that she sent two other WhatsApp messages, firstly to the husband of the deceased’s younger sister, Charles Akpoguma, which read: “Just pray for us. May God forgive.”

He said the last message was to her mother in Calabar the same night. It read:

“Sorry mum, we engaged in a fight.”

However, things took a more graphic turn when the prosecution played pictures of the defendant on a hospital bed after the incident and her bloodied deceased husband on his deathbed.

Shitta-Bey also tendered, through Bamidele, several exhibits recovered from the defendant.

They included a big, shiny frying pan allegedly used by the defendant on the deceased, a blood covered kitchen knife Udeme allegedly used in killing Symphorosa, a blood stained pen, four phones, two of which were blood stained, Udeme’s Nigerian and British passports.

But when the prosecutor sought to tender the two statements which Udeme allegedly made to the police, her counsel, Mr Olusegun Banjoko, opposed the admissibility of the statements.

Banjoko prayed the court not to admit the statements as evidence, adding that they were not made in the presence of the defendant’s lawyer as required by law.

Justice Adedayo Akintoye adjourned until February 25 to consider the admissibility of the statements in a trial within trial

It sure was never in doubt..

Just going through this woman's confessional statement and the severity of what i dodged or escaped from my ex just hit me.

I would have been a mince meat if i hadn't taken the flight with whatever i could take and just run for my life or be bothering about what people would say even in the midst of the serious abuse/violence where a knife had been taken out on me on more than one occasion while i lay me down to sleep.

In fact, i get luck and i run well.

Mine was a great escape indeed...my story would have been like symphorosa's.

Pray not to be blessed with a compulsive and obsessive partner...too much wahala

She should be hanged.
No story nor pity

Jealousy does not get you anywhere in life.
Move on if your marriage or relationship is not working out.

Some women get mind sha

So unfortunate.......
Never should anyone tolerate a violent partner a non violent person can't think of holding a knife when fighting never.....

The prosecutor"s story does not add up
How can the man be pummeled with fry pan several times were his hands tied?
He saw her coming from the kitchen with knife and fry pan and he still laid on the bed?
Nigerian police can cook up stories sha
What I can see here is that the police cannot find a logical and convincing story to nail her in court so it decided to go with this.
True the woman killed the hubby but it must be proved in court before she can be prosecuted
Now the woman is in deep poo and wished she had not touched the man.
A lawyer taking laws into her hands, she allowed her emotions get the better of her.

sad

I'm this happens in Nigeria

Why

Hg

Finally.

The justice system in Nigeria is too slow!

Fear woman

May God distance us far away from these type of women

According to the prosecutor, Udeme stabbed Symphorosa, also a lawyer, to death and mutilated his corpse by cutting off his genitals on May 3, 2018, at their Diamond Estate, Sangotedo, Lekki, Lagos home

As if we don't know that prior now,
Only God knows what she did to his instrument!
Perhaps she fried it!
Send her to the gallow abeg!

May we never come across this kinda spouse in Jesus name.

Hehen

People and emotions.

If i meet a man with my wife in my matrimonial bed, I would walk away.


It's not cowardice. It's bravery and wisdom.


Otherwise, you engage in a fight which will lead to you killing the man and rot in jail or the man killing you the husband.

The woman will be free and still sample more diccks.


This is 2019. Year of sense.

Just take a look at the picture of the couple, they look so happy and cool together, especially the man.

Who could have thought such would ever happen? The heart of men is truly wicked!

Don't ever attempt managing any dangerous attitude noticed in a partner. Don't walk d isle until you are sure they've changed

Above all, people don't let anyone deceive you, godliness is still the best attribute your partner can offer you.


May God never let us fall into the wrong hand.

Don't ever settle down with a violent partner

The description of what she did that night sends shivers down one's spine.
This one was definitely insane that night and may still be insane,out of petty jealousy.

See how happy they looked...

We'd never know the whole story... the remote and immediate cause of the death...the very truth of the matter.
What a pity.

He was probably trying to avoid her killing him.
She's violent in nature and already had a will to kill.
