A 33-year-old woman, Comfort Olajumoke Olalere Tinubu, has reportedly stabbed her husband, Olusegun Tinubu, 39, to de@th in Ibadan, Oyo State.
It was reported that the incident took place at Gbeyi, in the Adegbayi area of Ibadan around 10pm on Wednesday night, October 30, 2024.
The couple, who married about three years ago, had two children together.
According to The Nation, Comfort locked her husband out of their bedroom following a heated argument, which escalated into a fight. During the altercation, she allegedly st@bbed Olusegun in the back.
A source who wished to remain anonymous stated, “I received a call at 10:03pm, and upon learning of the fight, I was informed that Olusegun had been rushed to the hospital. About 30 minutes later, I received another call that my younger brother was injured.
“When we reported the matter at the police station, she was asked what happened; she said her late husband accused her of locking the matrimonial bedroom door since around 7am when she left the house and returning about 7pm.
“She said the matter led to an argument between them but that fight started when the late husband came to slap her where she laid down breastfeeding their baby.”
According to the source, another relative of Olusegun, who was living with the couple, intervened in the fight and managed to separate the couple.
The relative was reportedly staying with the couple while receiving medical treatment.
“After settling the fight, he went back to his room asking the husband to sleep in the living room. But, not done it was gathered that Comfort went to attack the husband where he was lying down in the sitting room and st@bbed him in the back with the knife. The husband was said to have screamed for help and slumped and later confirmed dead by the time he got to the hospital,” the source narrated.
“The matter was initially reported at Gbagi Police station but the case was later transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Iyaganku, Ibadan.”
