A woman identified as Titilayo Kola was yesterday strangulated to death
allegedly by her husband a day after she was delivered of twins, The
Nation reports
Sources revealed that the incident took place at the couple’s
apartment at No 23, Temidire Street, Ajowa area of Ado-Ekiti, the
state capital.
Findings further revealed that the deceased’s husband, one Mr.
Kola, popularly known in asMelomelo (how many, how many), had escaped
with the twins even as he was reported to have slept in the same room
with his late wife, their new twins and other four children the night
before the incident.
Narrating the incident to journalists, the landlady of the deceased,
who simply identified herself as Mama Aluko, said, “Titilayo was delivered
of a set of twins at midnight on August 7. I was with her to help with
the children and other things. Her husband, who has not been living with
her for some time now, also came around, while her mum too was also
around.
“Around 8:30 in the evening, her mother told me she would be going
for night vigil in her church. So, it was her husband, herself and their
new twins that I left before I went to bed that night.
“This morning (August 9), I woke up planning whether to prepare
Semovita or fufu for Titilayo. It was around that time somebody came
to inform me that they couldn’t wake Titilayo up and that her husband
and the twins had disappeared.”
Asked about other family members of the couple, the landlady said
she didn’t know much about them, adding that Kola (the husband) came
to rent the apartment about a year earlier, but, however, stopped
living with his wife a few months after they moved into the apartment.
Confirming the development, the Ekiti State’s Police Public Relations
Officer (PPRO), Mr. Victor Babayemi, said: “It is a case of homicide and
child stealing. The deceased was found dead on the bed in quite a
suspicious circumstance, and the prime suspect is the husband of the
woman who we haven’t seen.
“So, we have a case of homicide and child stealing on our hands and
we have commenced investigation.”
