An update to the story of the lawyer, Yewande Oyediran, who allegedly murdered her husband, Lowo Oyediran has emerged.The woman is said to be a lawyer and a Staff of Directorate of public prosecution at the Ministry of Justice, Ibadan, Oyo state.
Lowo was allegedly stabbed after a domestic dispute at their home. The woman hasn’t been arrested yet as she’s said to have vanished after the incident.
The man’s corpse has been deposited at the mortuary while his friends are mourning him on social media.
Yewande was arrested on Tuesday in connection with the death of her husband, after remaining at large immediately after his murder.
The husband resided in France, but had been coming home regularly since he married Yewande. A family source, who is a brother to the deceased, said the husband was into property development and had come home in December 2015, to execute a job in Nigeria.
Lowo’s family had also accused Yewande of stabbing her husband to death. The family source told PUNCH the family feared that apart fron losing Lowo, the case might also be lost because the suspect worked as a counsel at the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.
He said,
“She is a lawyer with the Oyo State DPP at the Ministry of Justice. She is also the daughter of an Anglican venerable in Ibadan.On the other hand, the lady’s family is claiming that she was found with a dislocated shoulder and swollen head following the fight between the couple.
As an employee of the DPP, she could truncate the case. We heard that her family is making efforts to cover up this dastardly act using the state judiciary.”
But friends of the late Oyelowo Oyediran say this is a lie, that the lady sustained no injury and was the primary aggressor.
They sent a photo of Oyelowo, just a few hours before he was killed to Linda Ikeji’s Blog. He’d been stabbed in the shoulder a few hours before the second stab in the neck that led to his death. He was taken to the hospital for treatment after this stabbing but when the couple returned home another quarrel started which led to his death.
Oyelowo is seen in the picture wearing only boxers in the dead of the night after he was stabbed the first time and his landlord had interfered and settled the quarrel only for him to be attacked again a few hours later… and it was fatal.
Yewande allegedly stabbed Oyelowo as he sleeping after he returned home from hospital.
The Public Relations Officer, Oyo State Police Command, Adekunle Ajisebutu, said the Commissioner of Police in the state, Leye Oyebade, had ordered a thorough investigation into the case.
He added that the matter had been transferred to the Department of Criminal Investigation of the command for proper probe into the alleged murder. He said the suspect had been arrested, but had not spoken to investigators.
Ajisebutu said,
A government official, who did not want to be named, said the state was aware, adding that at the appropriate time, a statement would be made.“We received the report [on Tuesday] morning, but information is still sketchy. The CP has ordered a thorough investigation to determine why the suspect, who is a state counsel, allegedly killed her husband.The murder weapon has been seized by the police. We cannot say much for now until investigation is completed.”
