A US-based Nigerian woman accused of killing her husband, Adeyinka Adebamiro has confessed she stabbed him to death. The woman identified as Temitope Adebamiro pleaded guilty to killing her husband, who she claimed was an abusive cheater.

The 36-year-old woman and mother of two who entered the plea to manslaughter and a weapons offense in Superior Court in Wilmington on September 16, according to Delawareonline.com could be facing four to 50 years in prison.

Court documents also reveals that the couple had been married for more than 10 years and had two children. Temitope told investigators her husband was physically abusive to her, even while she was pregnant, and had been cheating on her with various women, including her own sister and the nanny’s daughter.

However, in an interview with Sahara Reporters, Temitope’s sister, who claimed Temitope was the one cheating on the deceased and that she was involved with black magic.

According to court documents:

”On the night of the killing, Temitope told investigators her husband had sent her to Nigeria for several months, court records said. After returning in December, she had to stay in a hotel near the Philadelphia airport for four days because her husband refused to let her into their Red Lion home.

He then paid for her to fly back to Nigeria for a few more months. It was then she got to know that her husband had spent Christmas with the nanny’s daughter.

Adeyinka later flew out to Nigeria and flew back with her to Philadelphia. As he showed her the cameras inside their home over his cellphone, Temitope saw the nanny’s daughter inside the home.

At one point, Temitope saw several texts and images on her husband’s phone, which she took pictures of using her cellphone. Some of the pictures included images of her sister and the nanny’s daughter.

On the night of the murder around 9 p.m., the couple had been talking and watching television on the couch when Adeyinka discovered the photos she’d taken on her cellphone.

As he yelled at her, Temitope told police there was a power outage, the court documents said. Investigators checked with Delmarva Power and discovered there was no power outage at the time, police said.

Speaking further, Temitope told police that when the power returned, she found her husband in the first-floor bedroom lying in bed. As she got closer to him, she saw a knife on the ground which she picked up and took to the kitchen.

As she put it away, she noticed blood on the tip and that’s when she realized he had been stabbed. She allegedly told police that her husband stabbed himself and changed her story several times.

When police told Temitope that his death was not a suicide, the woman “began nodding her head in agreement,” according to court documents. She was charged with first-degree murder and has been held at the Baylor Women’s Correctional Institution ever since.

Police also found during a search of the home a photograph of Temitope’s husband on top of the dresser in the master bedroom. The picture is of the victim holding a baby with an “X” across his face and a cut mark across his neck.”
