Lagos murder: ‘I hacked my husband to death’

EMOTIONS ran high, yesterday, at the Isheri Divisional headquarters, Lagos, after the prime suspect in the gruesome murder, Thursday, of a Lagos based socialite and business man, Mr. Kazeem Ademoye, admitted before the police and family members that she actually hacked her husband of 13 years to death.
Mrs Ngozi Ademoye, a native of an unnamed village in Asaba, Delta State, was married to Kazeem Ademoye 13 years ago and the relationship was blessed with two girls. But she was arrested Saturday morning after her 15 year old son, Tunde Ademoye, who had before now, known the deceased to be his biological father gave a contrary version of the cause of death.
Mr. Kazeem Ademoye was reportedly murdered on Friday at about 4.00am by his wife but had earlier told sympathizers who thronged the 11, Ahirim Onuha Close, Magodo, that her husband died of heart attack. In another breath, she was said to have told other close friends and neighbours of her late husband that he was a cultist and that she woke up that fateful day to behold her husband in red robe and a tortoise dangling menacingly around his neck following which she ran to her room, grabbed a bottle of holy water and sprinkled some on him.
She reportedly added that it was the holy water that lifted and slammed him on the floor; causing his death. But at the police station, she reportedly confessed that her husband severely beat her up that early morning and in anger, she reached for a sharp cudgel and hit him hard twice on the head. However, the police and family members are yet to be convinced that the woman killed her husband all alone. They are questioning who helped her to clean up the blood and lift him from the floor to the bed.
The family spokesperson, Mr. Adesegun Agbaye Hakeem, first cousin to the deceased said there was more to what his late cousin’s widow said. He noted: “She has confessed before the Police and me that she killed my brother out of anger. She has even taken them to the penthouse where she hid the weapon she used in killing him. In Yoruba, there is nothing like cousin, I call Kazeem my younger brother because my mother was born after his dad; so I have always referred to him as my brother.
