I was taken to Area F just beside Ayinke House there but
later transferred to Criminal Investigation department, Panti the following
day. My parent visited me and I had private audience with them
Mum: Oko mi, please tell me the truth, what exactly
happened and how did it happened?
Me: Am not a killer mummy, you know your son mummy, I can’t
even kill a rat
Dad: We know you are not a killer, it might have happened
by mistake, did you guys had any argument?
Me: argument ke? If not for the dinner she was preparing,
she wanted to follow me to the saloon, I came back and met her on the bed
Dad: uhmmmmm…..this is serious, the police are still
carrying out their preliminary investigation sha, we have been advised to get a
good lawyer for you which we are going to do because I don’t think going to
plead with Biola’s father is an option and I don’t know if they will be able to
grant you bail
Me: Please do all within your best daddy….please don’t let
them take me to court, am innocent, I don’t know anything about this, I didn’t
kill Biola
Mum: Don’t worry my son, we will continue to pray for you
and pray God intervened in this issue
Dad: And my mind doesn’t fail me, I never wanted to support
the marriage in the first place, my mind was not in total support of it, as if
I knew another trouble is looming
Mum: we shouldn’t be talking about that again now daddy,
the next thing now should be the solution to this issue
Dad: God will see us through…..
They left my place that afternoon, our family lawyer came
to visit me at the station, asked series of questions to ascertain my
involvement which I explained all I knew to him but the question that comes to
mind was who killed biola? For what motive? Did she commit suicide? Why will
she commit suicide?..so many questions asking for answers but there was none.
I was taken to court after like a week at the cell, the
presiding judge remanded me at Kirikiri because of the nature of my offence. It
was almost a month have been at the prison, my lawyer and parent used to come
and visit me at the cell, it was during one of the visit from my mum and lawyer
that we had a lengthy discussion
Lawyer: This case is seriously a dicey one and we need to
be praying for God intervention…
Me: what happened?
Lawyer: What did you do immediately when you saw your wife
on bed?
Me: I removed the knife from her stomach, covered the place
with cloth so that blood won’t be rushing out
Lawyer: (cuts in)…That exactly was the mistake that you did
because your finger print was the one they found on the knife and part of her
own too which to my observation shows that maybe you guys were struggling with
each with the knife and the mistake happened, have explained to your parent
that you need to tell us the truth if there is anything you are hiding from us
Me:Am not hiding anything…All what have said is the truth,
I didn’t kill her
Lawyer:Did you guys have any secret or involve in any deal
that involves third party? Do you know if she was dealing with anybody that
might have been a threat to her life
Me: None that am aware of, Biola that I know doesn’t like
trouble, she prefer to let go of anything that might want to cause trouble for
her or anybody close to her
Lawyer: So, if you are not the one, who now killed Biola
and for what reason?
Mum: We don’t know ooo..I pray God intervene in this matter
Me: What is Biola parent saying?
Dad: uhmmm, those ones, they said you must also die since
you killed their daughter
Mum: her father was even the worst, we have done everything
for them to drop the case but they are adamant that the law must take it cause
Dad: Biola’s Dad said, as if he knew something bad will
happened that was why he never wanted to give you her daughters hand in
marriage but his wife forced his hand into the marriage
Mum: He is seriously blaming the Mum, I learnt they had to
involve their families before they could settle the feud Biola’s death created
Lawyer: we just have to prepare our case very well, you
need to maintain when the trial start that you were naive that was why you
touch the knife, we have gotten across to the barber you went to his saloon to
come and testify for you since that was where you were when the incident
happened..he also identified someone that was at the saloon together with you
that night and for now, they are still ready to come to court…..We just have to
start preparing our defence
Mum: How are you coping here my Son?
Me: There is nothing like freedom, am tired of this place
oooo
My parent left kirikiri and I was taken back to my cell,
not later than a month after, my parent came and told me that trial date has
been fixed.
Trial commenced and just as like my lawyer instructed, I maintained my innocence that I was not the one that killed my wife, we had no quarrel and there was no reason for me to kill her, my lawyer called the judge attention to the fact that I just came in from kidnappers then and according to police report of the incident, I was suppose to be killed by the kidnappers and after which they will kill my wife.
