Husband arrested for murdering wife’s lover after he caught them having sex on matrimonial bed

A cheating wife has landed her husband into big trouble. The 32-year-old businessman, Ezekiel Igbokwe, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly killing his wife’s lover, Victor Olatundun.

Igbokwe was said to have killed Olatundun after he caught him having sex with his wife at their matrimonial home. The suspect allegedly committed the offence on Wednesday, July 27, at about 12am at Peace Lodge on Itura Street, Awa Ijebu, Ijebu-North Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Igbokwe, who said he was a businessman, explained that he had returned from his trip to Onitsha and met Victor on top of his wife on their matrimonial bed. He said he picked a machete in the toilet and cut the victim in the neck and hand. Olatundun reportedly died on the way to the hospital. Igbokwe said he committed the crime due to anger,saying he also never suspected that his wife was having an extra-marital affair with anyone.

He said, “I travelled to Onitsha on July 25, and when I came back on July 27, I met a man inside my room making love to my wife. Then we started fighting. The man was stronger than me. When I saw he could overpower me, I got a cutlass in my toilet and dealt him blows in the hand and neck. On the way to the hospital, the fuel in the car finished and he died.”

His  wife, Juliet, have three children aged nine, seven and five. Juliet, who sobbed intermittently, said her alleged lover had been pressurising her for a relationship for some time. She explained that she had always told him she was married, but the victim never gave up until he ended up at their matrimonial home on that night. She said she suspected that the deceased used a charm on her, as she could not explain how it all happened. Juliet, who claimed that she got married to her husband in 2005, said the husband did not take good care of her and the children. She said their marriage had been turbulent and fraught with fights and quarrels. The mother of three said each time there was a fight, her husband would leave the house for months.

She said, “He had been disturbing me that he wanted to marry me, but I said I was married.
“On the day of the incident, I really can’t say if he used a charm on me. All I know is that he called me that he wanted to see me and I told him not to come; he knew my house and when he came, I didn’t know what happened.
“He used to come and deliver snuff to me in the house. On the day of the incident, he told me he was coming from somewhere and that it was already late. He wanted to sleep in our place till the next day. He didn’t know that my husband was away. He tried to sleep with me, but later he didn’t.”
