Detectives attached to the State Criminal
Investigations Department (SCID), Homicides section, Panti, Yaba, Lagos State
have arrested a housewife for allegedly stabbing her husband to death over N10 TomTom Sweet.
The suspect, Aminat Aiyemobola, 22, a mother of two,
was said to have stabbed her husband, Babatunde Aiyemobola, 40, to death, using
a kitchen knife.
The incident which occurred at House No.4, Magbon
Alade Street, Ibeju Lekki area on October, 12, 2014, left many residents
gasping in shock.
The incident was reported to the police by the elder
brother of the deceased.
Aiyemobola was said to have been asked by his wife,
to give her N10, so that she could buy TomTom
Sweet for their little daughter.
But the deceased allegedly refused. Instead he
chided her for always buying sweet for their kid, adding that she was teaching
the girl to have a sweet tooth.
Soon the couple started quarreling over the issue. The
argument was said to have degenerated into name calling. And before anyone knew
what was happening, the angry woman stormed into the kitchen and came out with
a kitchen with which she used to stab her husband three times on the chest.
Soon the argument became unbearable for the wife
when she made straight to the kitchen, and stabbed her husband 3 times in the
chest, with the kitchen knife.
While undergoing interrogation, Aminat told homicide
detectives that she did not know what came over her, leading to her picking the
knife.
Aminat reportedly said to her interrogators: “I love
my husband. He was a very caring man to me and my children. Oga, I don’t know
what came over me! We love each other. We’ve been living happily as husband and
wife. In fact, I don’t know whether I’m under a spell. God please forgive me.”
The deceased was a casual worker with one of the
Indian companies in Nigeria. The matter would soon be charged to court.
