THE Osun State Police command have arrested one Omotayo Salawudeen, 39, for allegedly killing Salawudeen Hakeem, 43, because he married a second wife.
Olafimihan Adeoye, the state commissioner of police, disclosed this while speaking with journalists today, Monday, July 17, on the achievement of his command for the months of June and mid July.
According to Adeoye, the incident happened at the couple’s home at No.11, Adeniran Street, Hallelujah Estate, Osogbo, capital of Osun State. The CP said his men acted upon the receipt of a case of murder which was lodged at Dada Estate Divisional Police Headquarters by one Salawudeen Jimoh of No, 37 Engineer Adesina Salawudeen Street, Osogbo, prompting his men to swing into action immediately and carried out comprehensive investigations.
In course of the investigation, Omotola Salawudeen, the wife of the deceased was arrested as well as one Oladapo Dolapo, her co-plotter and a hired assassin.
Oladapo, an ex-convict, who just gained his freedom from Ilesa prison about four months ago was contacted by Omotayo Salawudeen at Sabo Area of Osogbo to kill her husband on the ground that her husband married a second wife and offered to pay him N10, 000, 00 for the job as against the N300, 000. 00 earlier demanded by Oladapo.
“Having concluded their plans, the duo exchanged numbers while Mrs. Omotayo later called Oladapo to inform him of her husband’s whereabouts. Mrs. Omotayo Salawudeen took Oladapo through the kitchen and hid him inside a store in their apartment. When the husband came, the wife signalled her guest (Oladapo) and immediately, Mrs. Omotayo Salawudeen used pillow to cover her husband’s mouth while Oladapo Dolapo, a musician from Ejigbo, stabbed him to death in his chest,” the CP said.
After the killing, Oladapo allegedly wrote some inscriptions such as “NO PRICE NO PAY”, “AXE AYE” “FORGIVENESS IS A SIN” on the wall and door respectively under the disguise that the killing was carried out by cultists.
“The wife made an outcry after Oladapo had gone to raise alarm that suspected assassins have killed her husband,” Adeoye said.
The duo of Omotayo Salawudeen, who had sometimes gone to her rival’s house with a petrol keg with a threat to burn her house down, and Dolapo have been arrested and detained by the Police pending further investigations.
