Inherited Wife Kills Policeman.
A traffic warden attached to Ijora Divisional Headquarters, Lagos State, South-West, Nigeria, has been killed by the wife he inherited from his late elder brother.
The deceased, Monday Aigbologa, 56, a native of Edo State until his death, resided in a room and a parlour at 10, Mosalasi Alao Street, Agege, Lagos with his wife, Mrs. Juliana Aigbologa.
Investigation revealed that on Sunday, 26 December, the deceased and his wife ate and slept together after watching a Yoruba programme at 11pm.
And when it was morning around 5 am on Monday, one of the deceased’s children Sunday who slept in the parlour took his father’s mobile phone to him when it rang only to discover that the room where his father slept had been locked with a padlock.
When he eventually opened the door, he saw the body of his father in his own blood with machete cuts all over his body while his wife had escaped.
According to one of the deceased’s children, Aina Aigbologa, 25, “my father inherited this woman after the death of his elder brother. My late daddy had divorced my mother and this woman has no child for my dad.
The woman is wicked, she is troublesome. Can you believe that her late first husband also died when she just touched his chest after a minor quarrel and the man died like that.”
Sources said the fleeing Juliana and Aigbologa are always quarrelling over domestic issues. However, it could not be ascertained at press time what caused the tragic incident.
Policemen from Pen-Cinema Division have visited the scene. The corpse has been deposited at Isolo General Hospital.
Police investigation into the incident continues.
