The embattled Damilola said that she did not set out to kill him but lost control due to anger and she stabbed him.
The incident happened at Gbamgboye Street, Lagos Island. She was arrested, taken to SCIID Panti, Yaba, Lagos and charged for murder.
Mrs. Damilola said that she had not come to terms with what really happened on that day and wished it never happened.
She recalled that their two years marriage with two children was characterized with crises on suspicions of infidelity and mistrust which resulted to constant quarrelling and fighting that eventually led to her husband’ s death.
She has been charged before the Ebute Metta Magistrates court and arraigned for murder.
The prosecutor, Inspector Mana Dauda, informed the court that it was a case of domestic violence that led to the death of the victim.
The Presiding Magistrate, Mrs. A.O Ajibade, did not take her plea and denied her bail. The court directed the prosecutor to duplicate the file and send to DPP for advice.
