Man, 23, kills 46-year-old lover in Edo

A 23-year-old bricklayer, Adebayo Kingsley, has reportedly killed a 46 -year-old widow and mother of four, Rosemary Ifeoma, said to be his lover.

Kingsley, who hails from Ibillo in Akoko-Edo Local Government Area of Edo State, allegedly killed Ifeoma, popularly called Mama Samuel, from Orogun in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, ‎at Darlington Ogbeifun Street, Off Ogbekan Village road, Ugbor, in Oredo Local Government Area.

He was said to have hit the lady with a plank and had carnal knowledge of her, thereafter. He was earlier accused of hitting the head of the deceased’s 13-year-old boy and then pounced on the woman thinking the son was dead.

Narrating how the incident happened, a resident of the area who simply gave his name as Peter, said: “This woman, popularly called Mama Samuel, was a widow with four children, and the last one who is 13 years old, stays with her.

“She was having difficulties paying her rent and, then, approached a woman in the area, whose brother was building a storey building which has been roofed, to allow her to stay there pending when she could raise money from her business to get a new accommodation.

“She had a lover, a bricklayer who was coming to see her, and people around here know them. It was early in the morning on July 16 that her 13-year-old son, after regaining consciousness from his confrontation with the suspect in the night, who, thereafter, killed his mother, ran to inform neighbors about what had happened. He was rushed to the hospital for treatment and later narrated the story of how the suspect attacked them.

“He led others to the place where the suspect was working and immediately he sighted the boy, he took to his heels until he was arrested by the police.

When confronted, the suspect confessed to the crime but said he did not hit the victims with a log.

Confirming the incident yesterday, the spokesman of the Edo State Police Command, Kontongs Bello, said the suspect would be charged to court once the investigation is concluded.
