A 35-year-old man, Mr. Yinka Alabi, has pleaded before an Idi-Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi, Ibadan, Oyo State, not to dissolve his marriage despite his wife admitting to being raped by another man.

Responding to a divorce suit filed by his wife, Funmilola, Alabi told the court that the woman claimed to have been raped in her office, but that he still loved her.

Yinka said, “My wife’s adulterous ways are terrible. She was in the habit of receiving her boyfriends’ calls in my presence, but my ill-health condition makes me to accept all her shortcomings.

”My lord, I urinate through the use of catheter and my wife knows what am passing through. I paid her upfront before allowing me to have sex with her, but I am not bothered because I love her and do not agree with the dissolution of our 10-year-old marriage.”

According to NAN, His wife Funmilola, 31, had earlier urged the court to grant her divorce request, alleging constant brutality on her by the husband.

According to her, Yinka is always suspicious that I engage in extra-marital affairs.

”He has no regard for my parents, so I can no longer endure his nagging and brutality,” she stated.

President of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun,in his ruling urged the couple to resolve the issue for the sake of the only child of the marriage and advised the respondent to find means of reconciling with his wife since he did not want the marriage to end.

He adjourned the case until August 31 for report of settlement or continuation of hearing.

A murder suspect, Omoniyi Ademola, has revealed that he killed a traditional ruler in Ekiti State, Oba Gbadebo Ogunsakin to take over his throne.

Ademola stabbed Oba Ogunsakin, the Onise of Odo Oro in Ikole Local Government Area to death with a knife on Monday.

Eighty-year-old Oba Ogunsakin, who was enthroned in 1986, was stabbed to death in his palace on Monday after chairing a meeting of his council of chiefs in the palace.

The suspect thrust the knife into the monarch’s chest with the victim giving up the ghost before reaching the hospital.

He fled to Ado-Ekiti after committing the regicide but was arrested at Ajowa Market in Dallimore area of the city around 4.30 pm same day.

Speaking while being paraded alongside suspects arrested for various crimes at the police headquarters in Ado Ekiti on Friday, Ademola, who is in his 40s, said he committed the regicide to claim his “right.”

Ademola, who spoke correct English and never showed any sign of insanity, was said to belong to another royal family in the community.

He claimed that his family had nominated him to take over from the late king whom he said was serving as a hindrance.

The suspect said: “The crown didn’t belong to Oba Ogunsakin because the town last year declared vacancy because of the death of our Oba.

“They said our Oba was dead and my family nominated me to take over only for him to resurface again and said he remained the Oba.

“Last year December, my family nominated me and since then I have been trying to take over. That day when I got to the palace, it was the late Oba that first attacked me and I attacked him back which led to his death.”

The Commissioner of Police, Mr. Bello Ahmed, had earlier addressed a press conference on the recent breakthroughs recorded by the command in arresting the suspects.

The police chief dismissed claims in some quarters that the suspect is mentally unstable.

Ahmed said: “I am not a medical expert to know who is mentally unstable or not.

“But the fact remains that, how could a lunatic committed murder and ran over 100 kilometers from the scene of the incident?

“So, common sense dictates that he must have known what he was doing to have run from that town to Ado Ekiti.”

Answering question on the killing of former Commissioner on the board of the Federal Character Commission, Mr. Bunmi Ojo on August 10, the CP said the command was making progress with some arrests made.

He added: “We are on the trail of the killers, we have reached advanced stage. Some suspects had been arrested and they are helping the police.

“Efforts are being intensified and we shall feed the public with the right information when we are ready to charge them to court.”

Also paraded were 25 other suspects, who were arrested for cultism and other murder cases, including a man, Toyin Ajakaye, who allegedly hanged a commercial motorcyclist in his farm in Agbado Ekiti on Wednesday.

Ahmed added that the 16 suspects arrested for allegedly belonging to ‘Aye’ and ‘Eye’ confraternities have confessed their memberships of the secret cults, saying they will be charged to court soon.

He revealed that weapons like: one cut-to-size gun, one cartridge, criminal charms, Toyota Camry Car with Registration number FKJ 912 DEK, one kitchen knife and one cutlass were recovered from the suspected cultists.

Ahmed revealed that four armed robbery gang: Idowu Oluwole, Ganiyu Rasak, Ojo Ayomide and Asimile Efra were arrested for stealing a Bajaj motorcycle from one victim in Ado Ekiti.

The police boss the command will continue to intensify efforts to ensure that criminals have no hidden place in the state.

A man accused of raping and strangling his friend’s two-year-old daughter to death allegedly fed her a bottle of milk before ending her life, court papers reveals.

This emerged from court papers during Willie Simons’s pre-trial proceedings at the Cape High Court on Friday, August 17.

The matter was postponed to August 29, for Simons’ Legal Aid lawyer to come on board.

On the 28th of February 2016, just a few days after her 2nd birthday, Zaakierah Hendricks was raped and brutally murdered by Simons. He is a friend of the family and was the soccer coach for under-7s at a club in Manenberg.

Forensic evidence, such as DNA test results, have delayed the arrest of the suspect in the murder of the toddler.

Willie Simons was taken into custody a month ago after police tested the DNA of 14 men who had lived on the property where Zaakierah was found dead, and his DNA came up positive.

Simons made his first appearance at the Wynberg Magistrate’s Court last April, where he is facing a rape and murder charge.

Zaakierah’s mother, Zayda Hendricks, 24, said she had left the child in Simons’ care as she and his girlfriend went to Club Cameo in Heideveld.

She said she trusted him because he was her friend and he also coached soccer players in the community. Zayda says Simons had offered to look after Zaakierah for her.

“My son’s father was looking after him and my mother was not available. Willie heard me talking to someone that I didn’t have a babysitter and offered to look after Zaakierah,” she says, crying.

Zayda says when they left, Zaakierah was already asleep. She returned home the next day, “between 7am and 9am”.

“I saw Willie standing outside and he said the child was still sleeping and that she was at the back (bedroom) I walked inside the house and spoke to the (home) owner and told her about the night we had and she said the child is at the back.”

The mother says when she reached her tiny daughter, the little girl was barely alive.

“When I touched her hand, she was ice cold,” Zayda says.

A relative was called to try and resuscitate the child who was still breathing, and she was rushed to hospital where she was declared dead on arrival.

Zaakierah’s paternal grandmother, Jeanette Daniels, 62, had said:

“They said there were scratches on her neck and when we went to look at her body at the mortuary, we knew something bad had happened to her.

In court papers presented last Friday, it was revealed that Simons allegedly fed Zaakierah a bottle before raping and strangling her.

“The accused took the deceased to Felicia’s Wendy house on the premises to lay her down to sleep,” the indictment read.

“The accused had the key to Felicia’s Wendy house. The last time the deceased was seen alive was when the accused gave her bottle. The deceased’s mother returned the next morning, 28 February 2016. She found the deceased on Felicia’s bed under a blanket. The post-mortem examination revealed the deceased died due to strangulation and had a gaping anus with pubic hair protruding from it.”

The State said it had damning DNA evidence against Simons.
