JUDGE CONDEMNS WIFE-KILLER (AKOLADE AROWOLO) TO DEATH.


Wife-killer, Akolade Arowolo has been sentenced to death by hanging three years after he was accused of killing, Titilayo, his banker wife. The murder took place  precisely on June 24th 2011.

The trial judge, Justice Lateefa Okunnu of an Ikeja High Court while delivering her judgment, Friday, found Arowolo guilty on a one-count charge of murder.

The judge relied on testimonies and evidences of fifteen witnesses including family members of the deceased, investigating police officers, photographers and Chief pathologist of Lagos State to make her judgment.


Mr. Arowolo broke down in the dock during the judgment and said many times while being taken away that he would not die of the judgment.




He shouted "Jesus Christ, I cannot die" many times as he was led away by prison warders.



This brings to an end the case which has received enormous interest from the media and civil organisations.
