The Osun Police Command on Monday paraded  a 39-year old housewife  who  allegedly conspired with others  to  kill  her husband  by stabbing him to death with a knife.

The Commissioner of  Police in Osun,  Olafimihan Adeoye, who addressed  newsmen on Monday in Osogbo, also paraded a suspected accomplice in the killing.

He said the incident was reported to the police by one  Salawudeen Jimoh  on May 12.

Adeoye said Jimoh reported that  at about 3:00 am, two unknown men entered into the residence of his  brother, Salawudeen Hakeem,  located at  11, Adeniran Street, Alleluyah Estate, Osogbo,  and stabbed him to death with  a knife while  nothing was carted away.

The police boss also said a team of police detectives was  deployed to the scene of the  crime where the inscription,  “No Price,  No Pay,  Aye Axe and Forgiveness is a sin,’’  was found written on the wall of  the house of the deceased.

He said police investigation led to the arrest of  a  suspect, who on interrogation,  alleged  that  the wife of the deceased   hired him to kill her husband and  also participated in the act.

Adeoye  advised residents of the state  to always report marital or domestic disputes  to the police for prompt resolution before it degenerated.

He said the suspects would  be charged to court as soon as investigation was  completed.

Recovered weapons like a locally made pistol, four empty shells  of AK 47 rifle and a cutlass were also  shown to journalists.
