Man kills neighbor for sleeping with his wife.

A Magistrate’s Court sitting at Isabo,
Abeokuta, Ogun State, remanded a herdsman,
Mohammed Ibrahim, in prison custody for
allegedly killing his friend, Abdullahi Saliu,
for sleeping with his (Ibrahim) wife. The
prosecutor, Corporal Moshood Hammed, told
the court that the accused committed the
alleged offence on October 11 at Ojubu Village
in Abeokuta. He said the accused killed his
friend by hitting him with a stick on his head
for sleeping with his wife.
He said: “The accused and the deceased
were close friends and lived together in
the same apartment. “When the accused
learned that the deceased slept with his
wife while he was away from home, a
fight ensued between the two men,
which led to the murder of Saliu.”
Hammed said the offence contravened
Sections 316 and 319 of the Criminal Laws of
Ogun State. The accused, who had no legal
representation and whose plea was not taken
by the court, is facing a charge of murder.
The magistrate, Mr. Martins Akinyemi,
ordered that the accused be remanded in Oba
Prison, while awaiting Director of Public
Prosecution’s advice. The case was adjourned
to February 11, 2015, for further hearing.
