Man arrested for killing fiancee at their home
Yakubu Johnson and late Victoria |
The body of the deceased, 29-year-old Victoria Akubo, was discovered by the son to the couple’s landlord on Friday afternoon.
Explaining the circumstances in which the body was discovered, sources in the deceased residence at Catholic Church Road, One Man Village, a suburb of Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, told P.M.NEWS that the taxi driver who had left home earlier in the day called the landlord’s son to help check on his fiancee since he has been trying unsuccessfully to get her on phone.
The landlord’s son who also spoke to P.M.NEWS said he subsequently went to knock the door of the couple’s flat, but he did not get any response.
The landlord’s son said he called Johnson back to inform him that there was nobody at their home.
But the taxi driver was said to have insisted that his wife is inside the house.
He asked the landlord’s son to check inside the house through the other door that leads into the couple’s flat at the back.
Following Johnson’s instructions, the landlord’s son told P.M.NEWS that he went to peep in through the window and saw the body of Victoria lying on the bed with her face covered with a pillow.
He said he entered the flat and discovered that the Victoria was dead with two marks indicating that she was stabbed in two places. The landlord’s son said he consequently reported to the police. P.M.NEWS confirmed that the incident was reported at the local police station before the case was transferred to Lafia on Monday this week. It was gathered that Johnson, in his statement, tried to deny responsibility for the murder.
But the claim is being faulted by Victoria’s family.
It was learnt that Johnson had initially told the police that he left home around 8 am that day, but changed his statement later when he gathered that Mama Reuben had called Victoria around 6:12 am, indicating that the deceased was still alive as at then.
The same Mama Reuben told the police that she later went to see Victoria at their home around 7:30 am, but left after she repeatedly knocked the door without getting any response.
P.M.NEWS investigations also revealed that though Victoria and Johnson did their traditional marriage introduction ceremony preparatory to their wedding about two months ago, the deceased’s family did not approve of the marriage.
Also, neighbours of the couple at their former residence told P.M.NEWS that Johnson, an Igala from Kogi State, like his wife, is in the habit of beating and maltreating his wife to be.
Victoria, it was learnt, was admitted in hospital for some weeks recently as a result of such beating.
A younger sister of the deceased who was living with the couple claimed to have left in protest of the domestic abuse of Victoria.
Solomon Akubo, an elder brother of the deceased, said the family wants justice to be done on the issue even as he alleged that the police are trying to sweep the matter under the carpet.

Dear LIB Readers: My Boyfriend wants me to get pregnant before proposing
My boyfriend of over two years just told me that for him to propose marriage to me; I have to get pregnant first. I wasn’t brought up that way, and I never wanted to be a pregnant bride. I have tried to convince him for us to get married first before pregnancy but he is insistent. I almost feel like telling him to go to hell, but I am in late twenties. I really hate that a man is giving me this condition before marriage.

'How my father died inside a swimming pool at 45' - Tunde Obe
The entertainer shared his story in his Inner Circle column in Yes! Magazine this week. Read below...
In Senegal, my elder brother, sister and I were chauffeur-driven daily to Dakar Academy, an American school largely attended by the children of English-speaking expatriates, career diplomats and ambassadors. The youngest, Segun who was still 3 at the time, stayed home with mum.
Mum was a strict, no-nonsense disciplinarian and simply would not over-indulge any of us. Dad on the other hand, was the ultimate pushover. With him, we could get away with almost anything. A very accommodating, unassuming and free spirit, my father was always the ‘life of the party’, wherever he went, for his laughter wherever he was, could be heard for miles! He trusted. A little too much, I might add, because he was never suspicious, and thought ill of no-one.
This was why we were able to convince him to take us swimming one Sunday afternoon on June 11, 1978, at L’Hotel Teranga, despite the fact that a pool already existed in our backyard at home. We’d felt that leaving home to go and swim at the Hotel would afford us the opportunity to indulge in the barbecues, ice- cream and whatever else was available.
At the poolside, I was busy chatting with my classmate whom I had bumped into minutes earlier, when he pointed out a man that was being carried out of the pool, with a bloodied gash on his forehead, not conscious. Nonetheless, I could tell instantly that it was my father, so I ran towards him, only to be barred from getting too close by a male caucasian guest, whilst officials and paramedics tried to revive him.
‘Ca c’est Ambassad de Nigeria.., ca c’est Ambassad de Nigeria..‘ I’d kept saying in my best French.
All I’d gotten in response was, ‘it’s okay… take it easy…‘
After what seemed like forever at the poolside, I saw a white sheet being pulled over my father’s entire frame, including his face. I shot forward and tried to uncover the face, protesting that he could suffocate with no air under the sheet. I was 10 years old.
The people around simply shook their heads and tried to pull me away from the scene, but I was having none of it. I began screaming and shouting, begging dad to get up for we no longer felt like swimming and just wanted to go home. But he didn’t.
And so from that very moment, our lives took an instant 360. An hour earlier, we had been chauffeur-driven with our dad in a limousine to our current location, and now were being sped off in separate vehicles – dad in an ambulance, and me with siblings in a family friend’s car, to anywhere but the mansion which we had left behind only a couple of hours earlier.
Mum, who had all the while been away in Nigeria burying her younger sister, had to emotionally withstand news of this second tragedy which instantly thrust her into widowhood, as she promptly made her way back to Senegal to pick her children, and what remained of her dear husband.
Months earlier, we’d all flown in first class to Senegal from Nigeria aboard an Air Afrique Airbus, and now we were on board a military fighter plane seated face to face on what looked like benches and hanging on for dear life, whilst my dad lay in a closed coffin on the floor nearby, en route back to Nigeria.
My father was a good swimmer and so it was hard to consider the possibility that he’d drowned. Thus the cause of his death remains a mystery to this day.
Suffice to say his sudden and untimely passing at just 45, had unceremoniously pulled the rug of luxury from under our feet, when we least expected it.
Here was my mother, a young, pampered housewife with no working experience, running a house constantly littered with VIPs, family members, friends, hungry distant relatives and hangers-on, now left to raise four young children on her own in a much smaller, now empty house.
Yes, everyone left. For good. No more calls, no more visits, no more lifelines, no more friends, no VIPs and no relatives – close, distant, hungry or otherwise. No one. A couple of my father’s close friends had agreed to help, but to my mother’s dismay, not without strings attached. Thus she was left with two options – wallow in self-pity or deal with it.
So determined not to let her children feel their father’s absence too much, she dusted her degree certificates (two), went job hunting and eventually settled in as a paid employee in the banking industry.
Mum worked very hard to keep us in school and at the same time give us some semblance of comfort, but understandably she couldn’t quite meet up with the highflying lifestyle to which we, as children of an ambassador, had grown accustomed.
Needless to say, it took my siblings and I quite a while to get over this rude culture shock, but get over it we did. Being shunned by erstwhile close friends was even harder to deal with, rather than grow bitter, I grew mature and wiser, turning it into the tonic that got me out of bed every morning.
Somewhere along the line, I met a friend, sister, mother, lover and confidante, all rolled into one. Someone with whom I’d shared the same life experiences, after our families’ breadwinners had passed on. But one of the most important things we’d shared was the strong desire to succeed. Our victory would be in our success. And so I married her. Thus Tunde Obe and Wunmi Aboderin became T.W.O.
Looking back 33 years later, I cannot but give all Glory to God. With a wonderful wife, beautiful children and a flourishing career that I love, I can only thank God for teaching me life’s tough lessons and making me the better for it.
Of course, as would be expected, everyone’s back. Lifeline-seeking hangers-on, name-droppers, long lost friends and relatives – distant and otherwise.
Like I said earlier, I’m not bitter – just wiser. I’ve learned not to take anything or anyone for granted. I’ve learned to take all ‘praise-singers’ at face value. I’ve learned that life is full of fair-weather friends. I’ve learned to help people without expecting anything in return. I’ve learned that for every 10 people that rejoice at my success, at least 2 are pretending. And I’ve learned to rely on no-one but myself, and my God.
The story of my father, the late Amb. Emmanuel Oyeleye Obe, was one of success, by any standard. He’d been serving in Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania simultaneously, as Nigerian Ambassador, which necessitated me, my mum and three siblings, living in Dakar Senegal, the biggest country of the three, during that period.
My mum, as an ambassador’s wife, needed not do anything but play the perfect hostess and organise lunch and dinner parties at home for her husband’s associates in diplomatic circles, whilst we the children (aged between 3 and 12years) simply went on with our plush, rich lifestyle, having gotten used to same whilst dad served in Mali, Tokyo, Geneva, Rome, and Washington DC previously.
In Senegal, my elder brother, sister and I were chauffeur-driven daily to Dakar Academy, an American school largely attended by the children of English-speaking expatriates, career diplomats and ambassadors. The youngest, Segun who was still 3 at the time, stayed home with mum.
Mum was a strict, no-nonsense disciplinarian and simply would not over-indulge any of us. Dad on the other hand, was the ultimate pushover. With him, we could get away with almost anything.

Is this chicken too sexy? PETA thinks so...lol
Work it chicken...very fierce! lol |
PETA isn't happy about the image. "When I saw it I just couldn't believe that an editor of The New York Times would find it acceptable," PETA's founder and president Ingrid Newkirk told reporters "It's downright offensive, not just to people who care about animals but almost to everyone. It's a plucked, beheaded, young chicken in a young pose," she said.
A Time's editor said the image was intended as a humorous, eye-catching approach to your standard food fetish art. But PETA's Newkirk is calling it necrophilia.

1k4Cancer
To commemorate Cancer Awareness Month this October, Wana Wana is collaborating with Sebeccly Cancer Care and Support Center (SCC) in the 1K4Cancer campaign. The goal is to raise funds for women diagnosed with breast cancer by donating a minimum of one thousand naira.
1K4Cancer arises from the dire need to assist breast cancer patients who cannot afford treatment. The idea is that if one thousand people donate one thousand naira each, 1K4Cancer will successfully raise one million naira for breast cancer patients. The funds will go towards chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment for a few women who are currently under the care of SCC.
Dr. Lola Salako of the Sebeccly Cancer Care and Support Center notes that
“At a time when breast cancer patients are already fighting for their lives a majority of patients have to struggle to pay for treatment. Some take loans, some sell all they have and some walk away from treatment because they cannot afford it. Breast cancer treatment cost may vary from =N=700,000 to =N=6,000,000.
The 1K4Cancer campaign is a fantastic opportunity to shed light on the financial challenges breast cancer patients face and raise funds for needy cancer patients. Together, we stand to help patients become survivors like Funke, Beatrice and many more letting them know they are not alone in their fight against breast cancer. We can help lots of women start and or complete their treatment. All proceeds of the 1K4Cancer Campaign go to breast cancer patients.”
Speaking on the 1K4Cancer campaign, Campaign Leader, Wana Udobang says “sometimes, it is important to remember that we all have a responsibility to the world that we have been placed in. 1K4Cancer campaign is an opportunity to show that there is power in every single one of us to change our society; in this situation, assisting women with their treatment, one thousand naira can contribute to turning around a breast cancer victim into a survivor. Together, we can raise one million and more!”
1K4Cancer will run throughout the month of October with a weekly diary on the popular lifestyle website BellaNaija.com and will document monies raised as well via twitter. This information will also be available on the SCC website alongside photographs taken with individual and organizational donors.
Sebeccly Cancer Care and Support Center is an organization dedicated to ending breast cancer through the power of grassroots action and advocacy by providing information, support, and campaigning for improved standards of care for patients. SCC is for ladies seeking awareness, for breast cancer patients and for caregivers.
Wana Udobang is a writer and broadcaster; currently an On Air Personality on 92.3 Inspiration FM, she hosts the daily "Afternoon Drive" from 3pm to 7pm. She is also a contributing writer for Elan, BellaNaija, and several lifestyle magazines.
