● ‘How claim of infidelity ended in tragedy,’ Couple 14-Year-Old son, Neighbours, Police give details

A Shepherd of the Celestial Church of Christ, Iri Orun Parish, Bidemi Odukoya, has allegedly killed his wife during a midnight domestic dispute in Akiode Ibogun, Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The incident, which occurred around 2am on Monday, August 31, reportedly stemmed from allegations of infidelity by both parties, plunging the Ogooluwa community into mourning.

Residents said Odukoya used a machete and a wooden stool to attack his wife, leading to her death.

After his wife’s death, the cleric also took his own life hours later.

The couple’s 14-year-old son, Daniel, reportedly raised the alarm, waking neighbours.

A neighbour, Mrs Oluwatoyin Oseni, said, “We met Mummy Daniel’s lifeless body on the floor, covered in blood. Daddy Daniel was holding a cutlass and told us he was as good as gone.”

After the attack, Odukoya reportedly fled the community. Around 7am, he was said to have jumped in front of a moving truck at Coker junction along the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and died instantly.
