Why I Shot My Wife's Lover Dead - 43-Year Old Man Confesses

A man, Adebisi Akinrinmola, has blamed the action of killing his wife’s lover on the devil.

Akinrinmola made the confession while he was paraded at the Ogun State Police Command headquarters on Friday.

The 43-year-old man who was paraded with the dane gun he used for the killing, said, "The incident happened on Sunday, February 19, at Ajebo Village, Ijebu Igbo, Ogun State in my cocoa farm.

"My wife, Fausat was married to me for nine years, but she had no child for me before we separated recently and she went into a relationship with Ademola.

"It is true that an argument ensued between two of us. When we were arguing, he squeezed my cloth at the neck region and I managed to escape from him.

"He then started chasing me with cutlass. He was the one who pursued me to the farm house with a machete, and I had to reach for my dane gun and shot him to defend myself.

"I regret my action; it was the devil that pushed me to carry out that action.

“I tried my best to make sure Fausat bore me a child but it did not work.

“I still have a first wife who is in Oke Oka, Ondo State and she has five children with me."

The state Commissioner of Police, CP, Ahmed Iliyasu, said the suspect will be charged to court soon.
