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.
