I wonder why any wise woman will think that a man who knows
that you are married but opening your body for him will take you serious? Even
while he's climbing you, he's calling you a fool in his mind..!
As you read this, an official of the Lagos State University
(LASU), Samuel Ambe, has been arrested by the police for allegedly killing his
lover, Mata Jidonu who is married with kids.
Thirty-two-year-old Mata is married to a lawyer, Sunday
Jidonu, for whom she had three children.
It was learnt that her lover works at the Department of
Works and Physical Planning of the university.
Mata, who lived in Badagry, left home around 3pm on February
15, saying she was going to buy foodstuffs in the market, but she went straight
to her secret lover’s house.
Her husband, who had returned from the court earlier that
day as a result of illness, became apprehensive when she did not return on
time.
He said, “I came back from the court that day around 2pm
because I was ill. On getting home, I found out that my wife was dressed up,
ready to go out. I told her to prepare coffee for me because that it is what I
normally take in the afternoon. She said I had been taking too much coffee and
advised me to eat eba that was already prepared.
“She put the stew on fire while she went to pick our last
child, Laura, from the school. I told her to help me buy drugs along the road.
The same motorcyclist that took her to and from the school waited for her
outside and took her again supposedly to the market to buy beans.
“I slept after taking the drugs. Laura woke me up around 5pm
and I asked his brother where their mother was. I called her number but it did
not go through. I called her mother, our church and the centre, where she was
doing a post-literacy study; they all said she was not with them.”
Sunday said he became more worried when it was 9pm and Mata
did not come home. He added that he could not sleep conveniently till the
following day when he reported at the Badagry Police Division.
“I was at the station, when the head of the vigilante group
in our community called me on the telephone that my wife had been found dead in
a bush path. When I got to the scene, a crowd had gathered and policemen from
Ado-Odo Ota, Ogun State, had arrived to pick her corpse. She was strangled and
stabbed in the leg. Her private parts’ hairs had been shaved off,” the husband
revealed.
The lawyer told Punch that the nature of Mata’s death
prompted him to talk to people living around the area, saying he was told she
used to go to the suspect’s home regularly and was there on February 15. The
husband said he gave the information to the police, leading to Ambe’s arrest.
He said, “I was told that my wife had been sighted with Ambe
on several occasions at his second house and that she entered the building on
the day the incident happened. He is a non-teaching staff member at LASU. His
family members do not live with him in that house. I reported to the police and
eight days later, he was arrested.
The husband added: “As we were going to the station in a
police van, he called somebody on the telephone, telling the person in Egun
language that the fat woman had been traced to his house. He did not know that
I understand the language.”
PUNCH Metro learnt that Ambe’s phones were consequently
seized and upon dialing the deceased’s number on one of the phones, it showed
‘D@M’ as the identity of the caller.
“The call logs we got from the MTN office revealed that he
had been calling my wife every day since February 1. It was discovered that he
had called her twice on February 15, the day she did not come back home,” he
added.
It was learnt that the police recovered some charms from the
suspect’s house, while bloodstains were found on the wall of the building.
Sunday said, “He (Ambe) begged me to forgive him. He said he
was not the one who killed my wife and that he was only dating her.
“But there are enough indications for me to believe that he
is behind the death of my wife. Since then, some elders in the community have
been threatening me to let go of the matter. I have also been noticing strange
movements around my house.”
The Ogun State Police spokesperson, DSP Muyiwa Adejobi said,
“The suspect is with us. We have credible evidence to prosecute the suspect and
he will soon appear in court.”
