A housewife, Mrs. Omotayo Salawudeen, has confessed that she
contributed to the killing of her husband with a man she hired to do the job.
She said she covered the mouth of her husband, Alhaji Hakeem
Salawudeen, 43, while a 24-year-old man she hired to kill him stabbed him to
death.
Omotayo, who was paraded by the police in Osogbo on Monday
for alleged murder, made the confession while being interviewed by journalists.
The suspect said her man was a loving husband, adding that
she had sex with him before Dolapo Oladapo, whom she hired to kill him, stabbed
him to death.
She said, “I hired Dolapo Oladapo to kill my husband. We
were married for about 17 years; we were blessed with three children. They are
aged 17, 15 and 12. My husband did not offend me; I was just mad at him.
“I choked him with a pillow after having sex with him and
Oladapo stabbed him to death with a knife. I don’t know what came over me, but
I regret my action.”
The police source said on the day, the wife called Hakeem,
who was at a party, to come back home. He said, “Unknown to him, his wife had
brought an assassin home and hid him in one of the rooms.”
Oladapo said Omotayo hired him to punish her husband, adding
that she promised him that she would give him anything he requested if the
operation was successful.
The Commissioner of Police in Osun State, Mr. Fimihan
Adeoye, stated that a relation of the deceased reported the incident to the
police.
He said Oladapo was the first to be arrested for the murder
of Hakeem.
Adeoye said, “Investigation revealed that Omotayo did not
only hire Oladapo, but actively participated in killing her husband.”
The CP said investigation was ongoing, adding that the case
would be charged to court soon.
