LAGOS — Operatives at the homicide section of the State Criminal
Investigations Department ,SCID, Yaba , Lagos, have arrested a man who
allegedly murdered his wife during a scuffle over his alleged affair
with his wife's employee, in Lagos.
The deceased, Endurance Ajisegiri, was the Managing Director of Speech
Transition Company Limited.
Vanguard gathered that following the alleged affair with her employee,
Enduranceleft her matrimonial home in Shasha area of Lagos for her
parent's in Ibeju-Lekki area.
Several entreaties made to settle the scores between the couple
reportedly failed, until two weeks ago when a family friend to the
Ajisegiris reportedly came to pick Enduranceto her husband's house.
Circumstances under which Endurance eventually died was not clear as
at yesterday, but Vanguard gathered that shortly after the mediator
prevailed on Isaacto reconcile with his wife, she had to be rushed to
a hospital in a pool of her blood, where she was later confirmed dead.
Apparently suspecting there could be more to the mere injury in
Endurance's neck, doctor of the unnamed hospital was said to have
contacted policemen at Shasha division, who arrested Isaac.
Although operatives at SCID told Vanguard that Isaac maintained he did
not know whatled to the death of his wife but they were of the view
that she could have been stabbed in the neck with a sharp object.
Sources told Vanguard that a deep cut was noticed close to Endurance's jagular.
Sources further disclosed that two other persons, Isaac's mother and
his sister had also been arrested over the issue.
Father of the deceased, Mr Johnson Agbobonye, told Vanguard that the
only consolation would be for the Police to ensure that his daughter's
death was avenged by rendering justice to his family.
According to him; "The feud started after mydaughter discovered that
his husband was going out with her staff and sacked the lady in
question. But her husband would not let her be since the sack of the
lady. She later left her home when Isaac turned her into a punching
bag. We were in support of her decision so as to prevent the unknown.
I was not not home the day a family friend came to pick her to her
husband's place, for Iwould have kicked against the action. Now he has
made do his threat by killing the bread winner of the family", said 68
year-old Agbobonye in an emotional laden voice.
Operatives however said the suspect would be charged to court at the
end of investigation.
