The Nigerian lawyer who stabbed her husband to death on Tuesday in the southwestern Nigerian city of Ibadan in Oyo State, lived a good, if not pious life before the incomprehensible tragedy took place, those who know her told Simonateba.com on Wednesday night.

Many of her friends described the killing or even the stabbing as an incomprehensible act from someone who lived a blameless life and could never hurt anyone, much less use a knife on a human being.

The incident at Akobo Estate, Ibadan, Oyo State, involved Barrister Yewande Oyediran (nee Fatoki) and her 38-year old husband, Lowo Oyediran Ajanaku.

Peace Ella Maxwell, who described herself as a friend of the deceased, said on Facebook that Yewande, a lawyer and a Staff of the Directorate of Public Prosecution at the Ministry of Justice in Ibadan first stabbed her husband on Monday after she was told by someone that he had a child outside wedlock.

With an injury on his shoulder, he went to the hospital for medical attention. But on Tuesday, after the squabble had been settled and while he was asleep, she stabbed him again in the neck, killing him almost instantly.

Peace called on Nigerians to seek justice for the dead and punishment for the killer.

She said: “Yewande fatoki stabed her husband. On monday night all becos she heard he had a son outside wedlock.

“This generated a heated arguement between the couple which she stabbed him on the shoulder in the night he went to the hospital to recieved treatment.

“Early hours on tuesday she slaughtered him while he was sleeping.Friends and family and fans please News reaching us now from ibadan is that the Family of hounrable fatoki is presently using all their influence in trying to cover the story of our murdered friend.

“And presently the story has changed the girl yewande is saying she is innocent. A lawyer who works with the ministry of justice.A defence attroney. Who is skilled at such cases.

When things were good and love was strong

But those who have known Yewande in Ibadan for years told Simonateba.com that she is not the devil she is being portrayed in the media.

They described her as a very conservative, humble and loving person who grew up as a normal girl in the ancient city, going to the university to study law, graduating with good grades, securing a job with the state government and maintaining it with hard work.

As the first born of a family of four, two brothers and a sister, Yewande had struck many people who have come across her as a very humble and nice person, friends said.

Friends said she was never in a hurry to find love and her younger sister even got married before her. But when she met Lowo Oyediran, a humble and good guy as well, it was almost love at first sight. They dated and got married and have lived a very good life as a couple.

Her father, a retired permanent secretary in Oyo State and Venerable in the Anglican Church is also described as a very humble man who raised good kids.

With all of that, friends said, they were shocked and were eager to hear from her when she recovers from the shock. Sources said Yewande has remained incoherent since the incident took place, and has been asking about her husband.

“She’s asking if he’s ok, where she is and what is happening to and around her,” a source from Ibadan told simonateba.com.

While domestic violence is not new in Africa’s most populous country, the killing of the husband by the wife opens a new set of debates in a country where women are often beaten to death by their husbands or male lovers and where the debates often focus on how to protect women from dangerous men.
