Jealous Woman Kills Husband’s Secret Pregnant Wife
,,,,,,A Chadian woman, Fatima Rahman, has been remanded at the Ikoyi Custodial Centre for allegedly stabbing her pregnant co-wife, Adizat, to death at her residence in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
The 42-year-old Fatima was arraigned on Tuesday before Magistrate P. E Nwaka at a Magistrates’ Court sitting in Yaba on one count of murder.
,,,,,,,She was said to have been angry when she learnt that her husband had married another wife and reportedly visited the pregnant woman in her residence under the guise of being a nurse and stabbed her to death.
A neighbour of the deceased who saw her when she arrived at the residence was said to have indicted her after deep wounds were found on the deceased’s neck and head.
,,,,,According to the prosecutor, Thomas Nurudeen, the defendant committed the offence on April 9, 2023, around 12.40 pm at 43, Alejo Street, Ijede Road, Ikorodu, Lagos State.
The charge read, “That you, Fatima Abdul Rahman, on April 9, 2023, around 12.40 pm, at 43, Alero Street, Ijede Road, Ikorodu, Lagos State in the Lagos Magisterial District did unlawfully kill one Adizat Abdul Rahman, 28-year-old, by stabbing her with a knife and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 222 and punishable under Section 233 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2015.”
,,,,,The defendant’s plea was however not taken.
The prosecutor prayed the court to remand the defendant to a custodial centre pending legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecution.
Granting the request, Nwaka remanded her to the Ikoyi Custodial Centre pending legal advice.
,,,,,,,Nwaka also adjourned the case till May 25, 2023, for trial.
