Why I killed my wife’s alleged lover, by suspect

A thirty-two-year-old- man, Ezekiel Igbokwe, who met a man having an affair with his wife on his matrimonial bed and murdered him, has been detained by the Ogun State Police Command.

Igbokwe, self-employed, returning from a business trip met his wife, Juliet, having sex with the deceased, Victor Olatundun, and a fight broke out between the two. He later dealt machete blows on the intruder, who fell down and died.Igbokwe and his wife, Juliet were among 20 other suspects paraded by the state police command yesterday at the Police Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta.

Those paraded by the Police Commissioner, Mr. Ahmed Iliyasu, included suspected cultists and armed robbers.Igbokwe, who has three kids with his wife, told journalists that it was not his intention to kill the deceased, but just wanted to wound him and report the case to the police.His words: “It was not my intention to waste a soul like this. It is Satan that pushed me. If I knew it would be like this, I would not have done it. I didn’t know it would result to this. My aim was to just wound him and go to the police station and make a report.”

Mrs. Igbokwe, 28 on her part, disclosed that her husband had not been taking care of her and the children, saying whenever they quarreled, he would travel for months before coming back.
