This is
truly shocking as a woman who was recently delivered of a set of twins was
alleged to have been strangulated to death a day after delivery.
Read the
rest of the story:
A woman identified
as Titilayo Kola was yesterday strangulated to death allegedly by her
husband a day after she was delivered of twins.
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
as Melomelo (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.”
How sad,
what a cruel world we live in... ummmm
