… My partner wants to kill me because of
jealousy, mother of 2 tells her story.
FOR 21-year-old Abimbola Akinola, when she
started receiving threat messages from the father of
her two children that he was going to kill her, she
never believed that it could happen. To her, this
was a man she lived with for four years in a
relationship that produced two children and a
miscarriage.
But reality dawned on her on Tuesday, January 26,
2016, when her ‘husband’, one Adeyemi Adelaja
(28), visited her in her parents’ home at Labiran,
Oje area of Ibadan and bathed her with acid. But
for providence, Abimbola would have been in the
morgue by now, if the plan of the kids’ father had
succeeded. According to the young lady, the man
purposed to pour the acid down her throat, save
for the little resistance she was able to put up.
Abimbola is now lying in pains at the Burns Unit
of the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan,
where she is currently receiving treatment, with
the doctors waiting for the right time to take her
through treatment that would save her skin from
total destruction.
According to information gathered by Crime
Reports, the relationship between Adeyemi and
Abimbola got strained when the former
repeatedly abused the mother of his children.
This made the young lady to move in with her
mother in 2015 to save her life.
But this was said to have angered Adeyemi, who,
after trying to bring her back to his house in Lagos
State, started issuing threat messages to Abimbola
through her phone.
In her narration to Crime Reports, Abimbola said:
“I got pregnant for Adeyemi when I was in school.
We had a misunderstanding since last year. He is
too jealous; as a result of this, he would beat me,
tear clothes off me and render me Unclad. My
mother decided to bring me and my two kids to
Ibadan in 2015 after I suffered a miscarriage.
“Since then, he had been sending threat
messages to my phone, saying that he was
going to destroy my beauty and kill me. But I
never thought he would carry out the threat.
“On Monday, January 25, he called me that he
wanted to come to Ibadan to visit his children.
He came on Tuesday afternoon and there was no
one at home with me. I asked if I should prepare
a meal for him, but he said he didn’t want to eat.
At a point, he said he wanted to go and buy
credit card for his phone; I offered to do it for
him but he said he would go and buy it himself.
“He went down the stairs and came back with a
bottle. I didn’t know what was inside.
He asked me to give him my phone which I did.
Suddenly, he held my neck and tried to force my
mouth open in order to pour the content of the
bottle into my mouth.
“I gave him a hard bite, which made the bottle to
fall from his hand. I quickly stood up and raised
the alarm, at the same time raced down the
stairs. In the process, I fell down. My partner
came to where I fell and emptied the content of
the bottle on my arms and back, down to my
buttocks. Thereafter, he ran away.”
On what reason could be adduced for her partner’s
action, Abimbola said: “He is too jealous. He didn’t
want me to work. After I had the first child, I told
him I wanted to go back to school, but he did not
allow me.
After the second child, I expressed the desire again,
but still, he refused.
“Because of this, I went to learn how to be a
make-up artiste and bead making. But anytime I
got job to do, he would not allow me to go.
Instead, he would beat me and expose my
unclothedness to everyone.
Adeyemi trained as a welder but he does not have
his own business; he works as a join-man with a
welder like him.”
When contacted on the story, the state police image
maker, DSP Adekunle Ajisebutu described the
incident as unfortunate, while he said that the state
police Commissioner, Leye Oyebade, had put
detectives on their toes to fish out the suspect so
that he could be brought to book.
