Oyo state
police command have arrested 43 year old Yisua Adeleke(left) for bathing his
lover, Mrs Morufa Ajoke Odesanya (right) with acid after he found out she was
married and not a widow as she claimed previously.
According to
Tribune, on November 25th, Yisua invited Morufa who is 36 years old with five
children, to their love nest and then poured the corrosive substance on her. He
went into hiding for months until he was arrested on August 7th this year.
Narrating how it happened, Yisua said;
"I was
arrested because I poured acid on a lady I regarded as my fiancée until I
discovered otherwise. I had a wife, Ronke, who had two children for me but I
later discovered that she had two children for two men before she married me.
She also decided that she had had the number of children that she wanted,
asking me to look for another woman if I needed more. She went for family
planning.
I started dating Morufa and she asked me to rent a room, which I did
at Idi Arere, Ibadan. She told me she was a widow with two children. She used
to bring the two children to Idi Arere.
She also took me to where she was
living at Elebu area of Ibadan, saying that the house belonged to her aunt. She
showed me a man who she claimed to be her brother, but whom I later discovered
to be her husband.
She took me to her mother and I took her to my aunt who was
like my mother to introduce her as my wife-to-be. Morufa used to come and stay
with me at the rented apartment and I had to tell my wife that she could leave
because I had already got a wife. We used to have sleep together regularly to the level
that even during her menstrual period, she would beg me to sleep with her,
saying she could not keep off me.
This continued until the day I came in contact
with Magun (a charm usually placed diabolically on wayward women as a
punishment for their lovers) in the course of our affair.
It was as if my navel
was twisted and I also had a tongue twist.
I started feeling dizzy. This made
me to raise the alarm and Morufa also started crying.
An Islamic cleric came to
my rescue by making some incantations.
Though I became a bit relieved, the
stomach ache continued and the next thing Morufa said was that she believed
that the Magun was the handiwork of her mother-in-law.
I asked whether she went
to her mother-in-law and for the reason she would want to harm her
daughter-in-law’s fiancé since her son was dead.
To my surprise, Morufa called
me same day and asked about my condition.
She then added that she had slept with
one Baba Bidemi, and it proved that what I experienced was not Magun.
Baba
Bidemi was the man she called her brother; I was confused and this made me to
decide that I was no longer interested in the relationship if she could deceive
me for about two years that we were together.
She started begging me".
According to
Yisua, it was at this junction that Morafa confessed that the man she had
always claimed to be her brother was her husband
"I probed
her further and she confessed that the man was her husband and that she had
five children, though she initially told me that three children she did not
declare as her own were born by the wife of her ‘brother’ before they divorced.
I stopped going to her husband’s house but we were still meeting because I
wanted to collect the money I contributed as a member of a group we formed for
the purpose of contributing money that we could collect in bulk.
I got number
six and number 20. She collected the first one and when I was to collect the
second one after the discovery of her lies, she told me that she gave it to her
brother (husband) to pay FRSC fine.
But to my surprise, when I saw the brother
(husband), he was riding a brand new motorcycle.
This infuriated me so much
because I felt used. She continued to plead with me to forgive her, saying that
I was the salt of her life.
But I was so hurt by her deception and the devil
pushed me to an evil act.
So I conceived the plan to pour acid on her.
On
November 25, 2015, she asked me to come and collect my money, and I took the
acid jar along with me.
We stood at a point not too far from her residence and
in the course of our discussion I brought out the jar, opened it and poured the
content on her.
She screamed and ran off, while a bit of the liquid splashed on
me. I also ran away to my village at Omi Adio to hide until a week ago when I
learnt that she reported me at a radio station.
I was at the radio station to
state my own side when police came to arrest me.”
Yisua says he
regrets his action. Morafa is currently writhing in pain and requires N3
million for corrective surgery.
Her real husband is said to have forgiven her
and takes care of their children.
Meanwhile Yisua is presently in prison and
will be re-arraigned in court on November 9th.
