Wife, children accused of hacking husband to death

A middle-aged woman, Comfort Tifase and her children, Olufumbi and Oluropo, are reportedly  being interrogated by officers of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, over the circumstances surrounding the death of her husband, Moses, in Mile 2 area of the state.

The suspects had allegedly hacked Moses, who is based in Kano State, to death with a pair of scissors during a fight at their Block 285, flat 6, residence, Jakande Estate Mile 2.

Sources disclosed that the incident which occurred in the early hours of December 6, 2014, blew open when the suspect and her children attempted to quickly bury the man.

They were said to have 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.

  • wat a world of commotion,to wat gain did she in killing dis man nw,culdnt she had left d house or the marriage if it was so unbearable n save her head,nw this,let her carry her cross,I jst pity the children whom might have been lured into this.

  • Hmm, wicked world we live in. Would’ve been better to quit the marriage if it was bad, sad thing here is the children being involved.

  • after dragging d children into dis mess,wat makes her tink she is free from trouble.she just allowed devil to use her in increasing her problem.im very sure her eyes are clear now.jugement on her will b tit for tat.too bad!!!

  • The way at which people kill each other is alarming now. Where is the fear of God? Couldn’t whatever the problem was be resolved without getting violent to a point that a father and husband have to die. May God forgive them and may the soul of the dead rest in peace, amen.

  • What is this world turning into? Even children getting involved in their parent’s deaths without fear. May God have mercy on them o and may soul of their father rest in perfect peace

  • What a painful way to die. This woman has succeeded in heaping a curse on her children. This stigma is going to live wth them for a very long time if not for the rest of their lives. Whatever the problem was in her marriage, its not enough to take a life that God took his time to create. No more fear of God. Hmmm. May the soul of the man RIP.

  • Wickedness in high places. The bible said that a man foes is the members of his household

  • I think the man must have been very abusive to his wife and children for a long time and she reacted on this fateful night in a fit of rage. It is better to divorce than to stay in a frustrating marriage. I guess all the pent up anger and hurt led to this. Now she will probably spend the rest of her life in prison or worst Still,be killed.

  • Oh my God bad story everyday. Its not our portion. This is a warning to most men who find joy in beating their wives

  • Please lets not blame the woman, looking at it critically, what would have prompted the children to join force with their mum against their ANGELIC dad…… The man might not be that innocent….. Its well
