Police arrest man who allegedly videoed his wife's dealth instead of taking her to the hospital

A 29-year-old businessman, Oluchi Ajimowu, is
being held by the State Department for Criminal
Investigation, Yaba, Lagos, for his alleged
involvement in the death of her wife, Priscillia
Ajimowu.
Priscillia and Oluchi lived with their children in the
FESTAC area of the state.
The police are working on two theories; that
Oluchi smashed the wife's head on the floor, or
the 23-year-old mother of two poisoned herself
after being frustrated by her husband.
Punch Metro learnt that Oluchi had locked the deceased in her room on
November 29th, seized her phone and went out with their two children. It
was gathered that Oluchi on arrival met his wife foaming in the mouth.
A Punch correspondent learnt that Priscilla, a
nurse, demanded to be taken to a hospital, but
her husband allegedly declined and gave her palm
oil instead. He reportedly videoed her for about 40
minutes after which she gave up the ghost.
*OmG!! Such a HEARTLESS FOOL!!
It was gathered that prior to the incident, Oluchi
had subjected the deceased to inhuman treatment
for the four years they spent in South Africa.
Oluchi came back to Nigeria four months ago
while the wife arrived on November 27, two days
before her death. *Oh Lord!!*
It was learnt that Oluchi wrote 'for sale' on the
house shortly after the wife's death.
The couple's first child, seven-year-old Ella, told
Punch that there was a pesticide and a drink in
the room where her mother was on the fateful
day, adding that her father was ''not nice to my
mother'' while they were in South Africa. *Even
their 7years old kid noticed. Kill the idiot oh
please, he killed her period, so he must die.*
She said, ''Dad used to shout at mummy and beat
her and she would be crying. That day (November
29), we left her alone in the house. Daddy took
the keys and mummy's phone and locked mummy
inside.
''When we came back home, daddy packed
outside, locked us inside the car and went inside.
After that, he called us to 'come, come and see
your mummy on the floor'. Mummy was saying,
'Take me to hospital, I'm tired'. He started
videoing her. He gave her red oil, but she spat it
out. Her body was cold.'' *TEARS.*
The deceased's mother, Mrs. Stella Ayobo, said
her daughter had planned to visit her on the
fateful day, but later cancelled the visit.
The mother said Priscillia had not been happy
since she got married to Oluchi seven years ago.
She added that Oluchi had shortly after his wife's
death reported at the Aguda Police Division,
saying a friend took poison and died in his house.
*A friend? Oh, suchan EVIL man.*
She said, ''Four years ago, they went to South
Africa. She always called me to report how Oluchi
maltreated her. *And you could not tell her to
walk away? Now she's gone!! Y'all with this your
'Nigeria mentality' of what will people say, damn!!
*
''She came back to Nigeria on November 27.
She visited me on November 28 and promised to
visit me again the following day, being a Sunday.
But that day, around 8am, she called me that she
would not be able to come again and promised to
come with her children on Friday.
''Around 8pm that Sunday, her husband called
me that she had been vomiting since morning and
I told him to take her to a nearest hospital. He
later called me and said it was a poison she took.
I told him to bring her. By the time he brought
her, she was dead. We took her to a hospital and
the doctor said she had died.
''He went to the Aguda Police Station to report
that a girl visited him from South Africa, took a
poison and died in his house.''
The mother urged the police to investigate the
matter to a logical conclusion and give justice to
the family.
Priscillia's elder sister, Mrs. Emenike Dorcas, said
Oluchi had convinced her sister to come to
Nigeria under the pretext that he would open a
chemist's for her.
''I reported the incident to the police at
Satellite Town and Aguda divisions. Policemen at
Aguda were surprised when they eventually knew
the truth of the matter.'' She added.
The deceased's uncle, Francis Ayobo, said the
suspect was not remorseful after his wife's
death. He said,..
''It is so surprising that the wife was dying and
the husband started videoing her. The videos
were more than 40 minutes. He sent it to
Priscillia's sister in South Africa. By that time he
would have rushed her to a hospital for
treatment.
''I noticed that about three other guys were in
the background of one of the video because
somebody was giving her water and she was
foaming in the mouth. Those things should be
questioned. He was handed over to SDCI on
Wednesday.''
The Lagos State Police spokesperson, DSP Joe Offor, said the Aguda
Police Station arrested the husband and handed him over to the Satellite
Town Police Division. *Abeg kill him already.. I'm just so pissed and in
shock that a so called husband could do this to his wife. One indeed
need to be careful when marrying a man and also his family.*
