She said, “I saw him coming towards
me, as he got nearer, he ordered my customer to leave and as I tried to run for
my dear life, he poured petrol on me and fire caught up with me
immediately. Passers-by rescued me and ran after him to fight him, but
immediately they noticed it was him, they all went to their various homes. Then
some of them took me to the Police station and from there I was taken to the
hospital for treatment.”
Janeth, who hails from Isoko area of
Delta state and earns her living from selling cooked Indomie along Ikotun
roundabout, claimed she was illegally married to Adesanmoye (popularly called
Ogunlade) after divorcing her first husband.
The Isoko woman, who noted that her
husband (Adesanmoye) could kill her if she should say anything whenever he is
angry, pointed out that she never said anything in response to her husband’s
allegations.
“My husband has always been jealous.
He used to beat me every time under any guise and excuse. I have tried several
times to leave him but he always threatened to harm me. I stayed with him
because I was afraid of him and my life. He always told me that I could never
escape from him, except I leave Lagos State. Anytime I said I was leaving him,
he would say, no problem, which he would do something to me that I will not
forget. Now, see what he had done to me.
He wanted to kill me” she added.
An unconfirmed source intimated us thatAdesanmoye was later arrested and detained at the Ikotun Police station. His relatives were alleged to have called for amicable settlement, offering the victim a sum of N100, 000 (One hundred thousand), which the victim reportedly rejected.”
