Husband stabbed to death during argument with wife in Ibadan: Police
A 33-year-old housewife, Comfort Tinubu, allegedly stabbed her 39-year-old husband, Olusegun Tinubu, to death in Ibadan during a misunderstanding, the police have said.
The police public relations officer (PPRO) in Oyo State, SP Adewale Osifeso, confirmed the incident to journalists on Friday in Ibadan.
Mr Osifeso said the investigation was ongoing in the case.
“The case is under investigation at the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department. Updates will be provided accordingly,” Mr Osifeso said.
The couple married three years ago and lived at Gbeyi in the Adegbayi area of Ibadan.
The marriage is blessed with two children.
Sources said the husband and wife started an argument around 10:00 p.m. on Wednesday, and the woman allegedly locked the husband out of their bedroom.
“This resulted in a fight during which the wife stabbed the husband in the back,” a source alleged.
He said the alleged murder was initially reported at Gbagi Police Station.
