HUSBAND, SISTER, MOTHER MURDERED WIFE.


The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a 31-year-old man, Isaac Ajisegiri, his mother, Florence and sister, Esther for the alleged murder of Issac’s wife,  Endurance.
Endurance was killed at her home located at 1 Ajani Salawu Street, Shasha, Lagos, on Saturday.
Police authorities said she was slit in the throat with a knife in her kitchen.
 The victim’s brother, Caleb Agbobonye, said that the marriage was fraught with problems before the couple   reconciled recently.
 He said, “They have been married for about four years and they had a child together. They also run an education consulting firm not too far from their house.
“Problem started after Isaac was accused of having an affair with one of their employees. They fought over the issue for quite some time. She even moved out of the house but they later reconciled.
“On Saturday, one Stanley, who happens to be Isaac’s friend, came to pick her (Endurance) from the office, saying her husband’s family were waiting for her at the house to resolve a dispute.”
 Agbobonye said on Sunday morning, Stanley called Endurance’s relatives informing them that she was dead and that her body had been taken to Crystal Hospital.
 Some neighbours said on the condition of anonymity reported the case to the police.
 Asked if the couple had a history of domestic violence, one of the neighbours said, “There are four flats in this compound and we all mind our own business.
 “We don’t know if they fight. All we know is that we saw the family carrying her corpse and we observed that her neck was slit so we went to report at the police station.”
 At the station, policemen on duty said the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.
 Isaac however told PUNCH Metro that his wife killed herself with the knife.
 The indigene of Kogi State said on the day of the incident, she was acting crazy and would not listen to pleas from the family.
