A nursing mother, Damilola Opeyemi has been remanded in Abolongo correctional centre in Oyo Town for stabbing her husband to death over dinner.
A Magistrates’ Court sitting at Iyaganku in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Monday, gave the order on Monday.
The prosecutor, Inspector Olalekan Adegbite, told the court that Opeyemi, at about 8: 30 p.m., on July 4, stabbed her husband to death.
Adegbite said: “The woman who lived at Adogba Ajegede area, Ibadan, stabbed her husband, Oluwashina, 27, during a fight over noodles dinner.”
He said the offence contravenes the provisions of Section 316 and punishable under Section 319 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.
Magistrate P. O. Adetuyibi, however, did not take her plea due to want in jurisdiction
Adetuyibi said the remand is pending legal advice from the Oyo State Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP).
She, therefore, adjourned the matter until September 27, 2023, for mention.
