Oh dear! Housewife stabs hubby to death over N1,000

A couple of weeks a ago, it was a police corporal who killed his wife and son over money and now a woman has allegedly sent her husband to his early death over a paltry N1,000? Wonder what's happening.

According to a report on Punch this morning, a 27 year old woman named Folashade Sodiya, stabbed her husband Jude Igbinedor, 39, to death around 2am after a heated argument over money. The incident which started as a mild argument over money on Wednesday turned tragic between the couple at the house they shared on TK Balogun Street, Igbo Olomu, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos State.

They were said to have been in a seven-year relationship, though the union had not been consented to by the parents.They reportedly got married without approval of their parents and started living together two years ago...

The woman, an indigene of Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, and her hubby who is from Edo state had a one-year-old baby together.
A neighbour, Busola Adewunmi, said the couple had only recently relocated to the area and had barely spent five days in their single room apartment when tragedy struck.

"They packed into this house penultimate Saturday morning, around 5am, and the incident happened on Wednesday morning.
"On Tuesday, the wife had asked someone to lend her N1,000 pending when her husband would come back from his mother’s place where he had gone to.
"The man arrived and even bought vegetables and other food stuffs for his family. In the evening, he came out and also washed the pots they used to cook that day.
"It was around 2am that things went sore. I learnt she said he was the first to use a hanger to hit her before she also stabbed him in the chest."

After Jude was stabbed, Folashade called for help, but unfortunately, Igbinedor died shortly after. Neighbours then alerted policemen from the Owutu Police Division.
Another resident, said when the police arrived at the scene, they met the suspect on the floor with her baby in her hands.

"She had become remorseful by then. When the police picked the wrong knife as exhibit, she told them she used a stainless knife in killing her husband, which she also fetched for them. It was said that she wanted to take part of the money the husband brought from her mother to offset the money she borrowed, but he declined.
"She never denied killing him. But she said he was the first to attack her and she only wanted to scare him with the knife."
"No one can tell what exactly caused this one. The woman, however, said her grouse with Jude was that he always gave her the impression he did her a favour by letting her have his child.
"She said she was holding the knife that night to scare him and did not know when he rushed at her and the knife entered his chest."
