At the age of 22, Wasiu Kadiru thought he had it all, especially when he won the love of a woman of his dream, Barakat, whom he described as the most beautiful gift of God in his life. Little did he know that the passion he had for her would destroy his life in the nearest future.

Trouble started barely a year into their marriage, when he discovered that he was about to lose his wife, Barakat to his best friend, Tunji Bello with whom she had been entangled in a secret romance.
Moved by rage caused by a possible loss of his wife to his friend, Wasiu allegedly slaughtered another man simply identified as Segun on the last Eid-el-kabir day (October 4) who he claimed conspired with Tunji to snatch his wife, Barakat.Wasiu in police custody, told Saturday Sun that it was the love that he had for Barakat that made him deadly jealous.
“I could not live with the fact that my friend snatched my wife from me. To make matters worse, he would always remind me of my loss. I can’t believe that I am now known and tagged a murderer. In fact, my eyes opened as soon as I stabbed that man,”Going down memory lane, Wasiu narrated that he met his wife, Barakat in Ikorodu while he was on a visit to the town.
“She is black and very beautiful. She was actually selling recharge cards by the roadside. Pretending I wanted to buy a card, I chatted her up and we became friends. I visited her severally till she agreed to be my friend after six months of wait. The delay in convincing her, made me to fall so much more in love with her. She later got pregnant and I quickly visited her home and paid her bride price.According to Wasiu, he found it hard to believe when he started hearing rumours that his friend had taken over his wife who just gave birth
“All was well till I relocated her to Epe. To make ends meet, I would travel down to Lagos Island to hustle and return by weekend with goodies for my family. I introduced Tunji to my wife and he assured that he would take care of her while I was away. I never knew that he had plans.”
. “I did not believe it but when I confronted her, she confirmed that Tunji was toasting her but denied that they had an affair. Since she was a nursing mother, I thought it was not possible. Days before the Ileya festival (Muslim celebration), I gave my wife N1500 to make her hair and another N1500 to take our child to Ikorodu for treatment. He had rashes and my mother-in-law requested that the baby should be brought to her.Determined to toe the path of peace, Wasiu claimed that he reported the matter to the elders of the village but Tunji refused to stay away from his wife.
“I was shocked when I called her mother and she told me that Barakat was yet to get to Ikorodu. When she finally picked my call, she claimed that she had gone to see a friend. It was then that I realised that Tunji was not also in town. I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me where she was. When she finally returned a day to Ileya, she said that she was with Tunji. I was heartbroken but my rage took over my soul when Tunji saw me the next day and dared me. He said that he would not only have sex with my wife but will marry her as his second wife. I was mad and tried to control myself from killing him.”
“It was just a waste of time and energy because the matter became worse”, he added.On the day of the incident, Wasiu specifically asked God to help him erase the thoughts of Barakat from his mind but he never knew the reverse would be the case.
“I was devastated and my emotions badly hurt. While we were preparing the ram that would be eaten, Tunji came on a bike with one heavily built man. They kept driving past me making jest of me. I had to draw the attention of Baba Ade (his uncle) to their behaviour. He advised me to drag one of them to him, so that he would ask the person what the issues were. I heeded his warning and tried to drag Segun to see Baba Ade. He gave me a sickening blow on the head, it was so painful that I picked up the knife that they used to slaughter the ram and stabbed him. My initial plan was to give him a mark that he would not forget but I mistakenly stabbed him on the neck and he bled profusely. I knew he would die and the community might set me on fire, so I ran into the bush and escaped to Lagos Island”,When reminded that he might be hanged or sentenced to life imprisonment for murder, Wasiu burst into tears and said:
“Tunji has succeeded in taking over my wife, whom I love so much. I am ready to die for the love of my wife. It is unfortunate that I can no longer be there to fight him. I am finished”.When Saturday Sun visited Eredo community, in Epe Local Government Area where the incident happened, Tunji was seen hanging out with some of his friends during which he was arrested by SARS operatives who had been trailing him. He told Saturday Sun that it was not his fault that Barakat chose to start a relationship with him
. “I met her last year and never knew that she was married to my former friend. That time, she was heavily pregnant. She complained bitterly that her husband was not taking care of her and her unborn child. I started assisting her before I knew that Wasiu is the husband. When she gave birth, she continued the friendship since I was still giving her money. I don’t know how Wasiu got to know about our affair. The truth is that if Barakat still likes him, she would not come back to me after she had been warned severally.When asked where Barakat was, Tunji alleged that he relocated her to Ijebu Ode where he rented a room apartment for her
“I never knew that he would go as far as killing someone because of her. I thank God that I was not close by. It was my dear friend, Segun that was killed. He decided to kill him because he thought that I was making mockery of him.”
. “Ijebu Ode is close by and I normally go there to work. I kept her there for her own good since her husband will be sent to jail for the rest of his life.”

Very sad story. Hw can a young man of 22 waste his life for someone that does not care abt him.
ReplyDeleteThat's why one have to watch the kind of Frnd one makes.....Am not happy at all, every man can relate with this guy..Even at that this guy still took his wife and rented an apartment for her to continue their affair fully....Thunder go fire that guy walahi....
ReplyDelete* Mr Famous
Kill for a girl? For what na?
ReplyDeleteAww sad story
ReplyDeleteBut that guy isn't in love...he's obsessed with his wife, who unfortunately doesn't love him at all..its sad but u have to pay for murder! Dat ur friend nd wife go hear am too...its only a matter of time
That is why we shouldn't act out with rage cos what you destroy in your rage could be more expensive than what caused the anger in the first place. Now he is a murderer and will rot in jail for that. Smh.
ReplyDelete*Nonny*
Yall should get it.He didnt kill his friend for dating his wife.He simply killed him for bullying him.Most gfs are not worth fighting for.
ReplyDeleteYou guys we never know what this guy wen't true,i did wen amaka broke my heart.instead of killing my best friend,i killed one lekpa chicken and ate it with one cold malt*oke*
ReplyDeleteVery sad, like I alwaz say anger don't solve anything. D wife is a demon hop she's happy nw.
ReplyDeleteIts really a pity but I don't blame the guy one bit. It could happen to anyone. I'll surely kill anyone that try to snatch my Amy George from me.
ReplyDeleteIs a pity
ReplyDeletehe loves her....she loves Money
ReplyDeleteNow he has sent himself out of d way & can only imagine from incarceration wat d friend is doing wit his wife. This tot alone will drive him crazy. It's a lose, lose 4 him. Just my that, if ur wife is not worth fighting 4 den wat is?
ReplyDeleteI aint gat no time for bitches,just set my eyes on riches,
ReplyDeleteBlog analyser: very sad. Terrible anger
ReplyDeleteFeel so sorry for the young man. Although his friend was a devil to him but that doesn't justify his killing someone. I dont think his gonna spend the rest of his life in jail because he could argue that he acted based on self defense after haven received a punch from the guy. Which is a reasonable argument for the judge to consider.
