The family Oyelowo Oyediran Ajanaku, who was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife, Yewande Oyeniran nee Fatoki , a lawyer,at their Akobo Estate home in Ibadan on February 2nd, may never get justice after all !
It is important to note
that Yewande stabbed Lowo on the shoulder in the heat of the moment. Lowo
started bleeding and was rushed to the hospital by their landlord where he was
administered treatment. When he came back home from the hospital that night ,
his landlord offered him to sleep in his own apartment, but he declined
thinking his wife had already calmed down! That was the mistake that cost him
his life!
As BWF follower writes “Am really taken aback by the
Lowo man. Why? Because having lived in the Western world he should by now be
averse to violence and avoid it by all means. How on earth my wife nearly
killed me earlier and I will carry myself to sleep on the same bed with her is
really beyond me. I have lived abroad for 23yrs and counting. Any threat of
violence not to talk of acting it out, am out the door in a jiffy. You aint
seeing me in your life period. I on my part will never make threats or lay my
hands either on the partner. Inasmuch as its our way of life to make threats
which are usually empty, but by now in my ife I associate with those who know
that threats are as good as acting it out.”
Lowo misjudged his wife, blinded by love that was not there in the first
place, he never saw the hand written on the wall, he just went inside their
room, slept with the devil and while he was sleeping in the night, his wife
stabbed him in the neck rupturing delicate veins. It was a cry of agony from
the man that alerted the landlord. Lowo was rushed to the hospital but was
pronounced dead on arrival…alas he was eventually consumed by the death!
Yewande was at the court today and her charges was miraculously change
from murder to manslaughter! I knew from the beginning of this case that Lowo’s
family will never get justice because Yewande is a top lawyer in Ibadan, a
daughter of well connected family and in Nigeria, poor people never get justice,
that is just the case.
During court seating, Yewande was brought in a prison bus instead a
normal green ‘Maria’. Even inside the prison she was pampering her like a ‘mini
goddess’, she have two wardresses attach to her in prison! The lady that always took her to court (Akinwale
Toyin) is one of her maid while the other is Adebayo Sadiat ! Moreover, people were not allowed to take her photograph!
The question that always come to my mind is that why are they protecting her
identity?
With the way
the case is going, Yewande may not face the wrath of the law because she is a
lawyer and because she is from a very prominent and influential family in
Ibadan. There is possibility that the case may be swept under the carpet…
