By Fredrick Wright
A 35 years old man, Eluyera Wasiu has been arrested by men of Ogun state police command for planning with one Adeniyi Samuel to kill his 29 years old pregnant wife.
The suspect and his accomplice, were arrested following a distress call received by the DPO Ogijo divisional headquarters from concerned members of public on the 1st of January 2022, that the two men were engaging themselves in a very serious physical combat at Oponuwa area of Ogijo, and if they were not quickly arrested, it may lead to bloodshed.
Upon the distress call, the DPO Ogijo division, CSP Muhammed Baba, quickly detailed his men to the scene, where the two suspects were promptly arrested.
It was during interrogation to know the cause of the fight that Adeniyi Samuel opened up and informed the police that Eluyera Wasiu contracted him to kill his pregnant wife, one Bola Taiwo.
He stated further that Eluyera Wasiu promised to give him N10,000 for the job, out of which he had already gave him N5,000, to pay the balance on completion of the job.
Preliminary investigation revealed that, Wasiu Eluyera was married to Bola Taiwo but they got separated due to irreconcilable differences.
Wasiu later got married to another woman who is presently living with him.
But somehow, he met with his former wife and they started going out together again which resulted to pregnancy.
In order not to upset his new wife, Wasiu asked Bola Taiwo to terminate the pregnancy the suggestion that was rejected by Bola Taiwo.
Having tried all he could to abort the pregnancy to no avail, Wasiu Eluyera decided to eliminate the woman and the pregnancy.
In his confessional statement, he stated that he had twice bought food for her from one eatery and laced the food with poison, but the lady by providence did not eat the food. It was when all his personal efforts to kill her failed that he contracted Adeniyi .
