Nigeria: Woman And Her Children in SCID Custody For Killing Husband In Lagos



A middle-aged woman, Comfort Tifase and her children, Olufumbi and Oluropo, have been reportedly killed her husband with a pair of scissors at their residential home in Mile 2 area of Lagos State.
Comfort and her two children are currently being interrogated by officers of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, over the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband, Moses during a fight at their Block 285, flat 6, residence, Jakande Estate Mile 2. 

Vanguard gathered that the suspects had allegedly hacked Moses, who is based in Kano State, to death with a pair of scissors. Sources disclosed that the incident which occurred in the early hours of December 6, 2014, came to lime light when the suspect and her children contacted a member of their church with the news of their father’s death and demanded his immediate burial, claiming he slumped and died.
The church member suspected foul and alerted the police in Festac Police Station, where Divisional Police Officer, Ifeanyi Owo, who led policemen to the scene, arrested the suspects and her children while the corpse was taken to the mortuary for autopsy.
However, Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ken Nwosu, who confirmed the arrest to Vanguard, said the suspects denied killing the man, but the policemen who visited the scene recovered a blood-stained pair of scissors in their disarry apartment, while the entire apartment was in disarray.
