The Osun State Police command have arrested one Mrs Omotayo Salawudeen, 39, for allegedly killing her husband, 43 year old Salawudeen Hakeem, just because he married a second wife. The state commissioner of police, Olafimihan Adeoye, disclosed this while speaking with journalists today on the achievement of his command for the months of June and mid July.

According to the police chief, the incident happened at the couple’s home at No.11, Adeniran street, Hallelujah Estate, Osogbo. The police Commissioner said his men acted upon the receipt of a case of murder which was lodged at Dada Estate Divisional Police Headquarters by one Engineer Salawudeen Jimoh of No, 37 Engineer Adesina Salawudeen Street Osogbo, adding that his men who swung into action immediately, carried out thorough investigations.

The investigations carried out led to the arrest of the deceased wife, Omotayo Salawudeen and her co-plotter, Oladapo Dolapo, a hired assassin. The assassin Oladapo, an ex-convict who just gained his freedom from Ilesa prison about four months ago was contacted by Mrs. Omotayo Salawudeen at Sabo Area of Osogbo to kill her husband on the ground that her husband married a second wife and she offered to pay ten thousand naira (N10,000) for the job as against the three hundred thousand naira (N300,000) earlier demanded by Oladapo.
