The Lagos lawyer who killed her husband last week was on Wedneaday remanded in Kirikiri prison.
The accused, 47-year-old Barrister Udeme Odibi appeared before a Chief Magistrates Court in Yaba yesterday where she was charged with the murder of her husband 56-year-old Sym Otunuya Otike Odibi.
Police prosecutor Asuquo Effiong who tendered the gory photos from the crime scene in court yesterday narrated how the accused ripped her husband’s intestine and chopped off his manhood at their home in Diamond Estate in Ibeju Lekki Lagos after accusing him of sleeping around.
However, her lawyer Oluseye Bamijoko urged the court to stop the scheduled burial of the deceased today and remand the accused in Ikoyi.
His demand was rejected by Chief Magistrate Kikelomo Bukola who said Ikoyi has no facility for women.
She also rejected his demand to stop the burial, saying burial is the right of the dead.
The Chief Magistrate remanded the accused in Kikikiri and adjourned the case till the 25th of June.

The man really looked like a ‘happy go lucky, larger than life’ type. Too bad he had to die in this gory way. Men had better think twice and remember this wicked woman before comitting adultery. There is no telling of how evil a woman can decide to turn to when jealousy sets in. Too bad

WOMEN ARE always looking for men that would die for them. Even Simi says she’s looking for such a man in her song, Smile for Me. And I wonder, are women now vampires? Men should be very careful, for I fear a time when you refuse to die for your wife, and she kills you by herself to make sure you die.(LOL)
NOW, IMAGINE when you actually give her the reason to kill you by hopping from bed to bed. She would not hesitate to draw your blood. I don’t know if the accusation in this case is true, but men should please respect their marriages, for I have seen that men, more than women, cheat in marriages.

it is so very sad, he looked like a man full of life, laughter and happiness unfortunately he met a gruesome untimely death at the cold hands of his wife, cheating on your spouse in marriage is never right but that does not give anyone the right to snuff out the living day lights out of another’s life… I feel so sorry for his family especially his brother., sisters. mother and children

Either way, divorce or not, she would have killed the man. Some people just cannot accept rejection. Why was she on the shelf for good 44 years before the man married her? There’s no smoke without fire. It is inherently in a man’s nature to cheat in any relationship, even if he does it occasionally. Killing a spouse is never an option, even if he cheated on you. Some day, there will be a higher percentage of fatherless children, mothers in jail while the children are left destitute to become a menace to and create more problems for society, if this trend of justifying killing a cheating spouse is unabated or becoming more acceptable to society. As for me sha, I fear God too much to have blood on my hands and love my freedom better than man. God give us wisdom not to destroy ourselves due to foolishness, amen.

It appears that men more than women cheat in marriages because men are easily caught. A woman can cheat and will not be caught if she does not want to be caught but men can not hide it; he is easily caught. @Metu, if it were in the days of our mothers and grand mothers your observation that women do not cheat as much as men may be true but women of today with their copy cat attitude of whatever European and American women do, the reverse is the case. This is from my observation here of Nigeria women. There was one in Maryland about 4 years ago where this female Nurse manager (A Nigerian) was videoed having both oral and straight sex with a cleaner in the hospital where both of them work. The video was made by her lover when she denied having sexual relationship with him when her fellow nurses observed their relationship and confronted her. I know her and the husband because the husband is from my village. Her fellow Nigerian women confronted her but she told them boldly that they are talking because no one has caught them and she will not hesitate to expose anyone who talks about her. I don’t know of any Nigerian especially in Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New York or even across America that don’t have the video in his/her cell phone. Even in the village. That men cheat more than women may not be all true; they may be at par now.

MEN EASILY CAUGHT! That’s funny to read, bro! I have not been outside the shores of Nigeria, but my little knowledge of men being the “same” everywhere you go, can hardly be said to be incorrect. Same applies to women.
THE INSTANCE YOU GAVE here does not necessarily counter my claim. I even have my own story where a woman was bonked by another man right after her wedding, and the husband did not know. Yet, this story cannot change my view on this, for my observation is not on particular instances, but the generality of them. Start now to check it. You could make statistics of your gatherings, and you would agree with me at the very last. Men and women cheat the hell out of themselves in every relationship. But in marriage, men cheat more. There is nothing like men are easily caught.

I am not in support of women who kill their husbands, it is unjustifiable, but men should learn to respect their wives, gone are the days where men especially African men think it is alright to treat women like dirt and get away with it with social media exposure in Africa and all over the world. This trend of husband killing wife and wife killing husband used to be common in Europe and America but now African women have taken over and are no longer as submissive like before, they are now more independent and behaving like foreigners.
Nobody knows what transpired between them but instead of killing your husband why not divorce him, move on with your life and leave the judgement to God. Most African men are fond of using and dumping women especially when they know that the woman was on the ‘shelf’ before marrying her, fertility reduces with age and all this should be taken into consideration when getting married to such women.
Most African men are callous and wicked, if you cannot stand her barrenness, divorce her and give her what she’s due so that she can have something to start her life with again, after all she would have contributed in one way or the other to the marriage, why use and dump her and then give everything she has laboured for to another woman because she is pregnant or has a child for you. That is sheer wickedness. May the soul of the departed rest in peace and may God console both families.
