MICHAEL AKINOLA

A 25-year-old second wife, Rebecca Nicodemus, has landed in trouble after she allegedly stabbed the first wife, Precious, to death for taking her turn for sex with their husband.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the incident happened on 4th February, 2022, around 5.00am at Idogun Camp via Ode-Irele in Ondo State.
Mrs. Rebecca was said to have become jealous and angry that her husband left her in bed during an ongoing sex session  in order to make love to the senior wife, Precious, without concluding her own session in their room and  parlour apartment with their husband.

Trouble was said to have started when late Precious, having been satisfied, stepped out of the room after she had slept with their husband and she challenged the second wife, Rebecca over her comments against her while she was having sex with their husband.

In the process, Rebecca was said to have stabbed the first wife, Precious and she bled profusely. Before she could be rushed to a nearby undisclosed hospital, she had died and her corpse was deposited at the mortuary for autopsy report.

The matter was then reported to the Police and the second Wife, Rebecca was arrested. 
After investigation, she was arraigned on a one count charge of murder before an Akure Magistrates’ Court.

In her statement to the Police, Rebecca narrated what transpired and said it was not her intention to kill the senior wife.
She stated:  “I came to Ondo State in January, 2022 and we were leaving in the same house. I am a farmer and we have been relating together in harmony alongside the deceased”. 
“On that fateful day, my husband was earlier with me in the living room but had to excuse himself on a pretext that we were not free to continue with our love making.“I was waiting for my husband when I discovered he was making love to the senior wife inside the bedroom.“I also heard them making derogatory remarks about me. So, I waited in the sitting room for my rival to come out from the room. And when she came out, I challenged her over her unkind words.“Rather than being apologetic, the deceased suddenly grabbed my clothes, which made me angry. “
“So, I took a knife on the table in our sitting room and stabbed her at the back with the knife.“It was not my intention to kill her, I over reacted in anger”.

The Police Prosecutor, Obadasa Ajiboye, informed the Court that the defendant stabbed her victim with a knife at her left back side which resulted to her death.He said the offence was contrary to and punishable under Sections 316 and 319 of the Criminal Code, Cap. 37, Vol. 1, Laws of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.
Plea of the defendant was not taken but the prosecution made an oral application to remand the defendant in prison custody pending the outcome of advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

In his ruling, the Presiding Magistrate, Damilola Sekoni, ordered the remand of Rebecca in Police custody and adjourned the case to 22nd February, 2022, for ruling on the remand application.

The defendant, Mrs. Rebecca risks life imprisonment if she is tried and found guilty before the Court for murder, which invariably means that their husband may have lost both women.
