Story: Compulsory Marriage - Season 2 - Episode 27

Lying on our bed was my wife in her own pool of blood with kitchen knife stuck to her lower abdomen, i rushed to the bed, she was still gasping for life just little by little, i removed the knife from her stomach and tie cloth round it in order to forestall the flow of blood, i lifted her up straight to my car as i was shouting, my neighbour that were in the compound rushed down to me and help me out, in fact they didn’t allow me to drive.

We arrived at a nearby hospital in our area but she was rejected, we were referred to Ayinke House (Lasuth) in Ikeja, we arrived Ikeja by past 9 and luckily for us she was quickly taken to the emergency world, i didn’t even know what to do again, my neighbour collected my phone and had to call my dad that we were at the hospital, my mum arrived later in the night..

Mum : what happened? What is wrong with Biola?

Me: I don’t know mum, i don’t know oo

Mum: where is she now?

Me: She’s with the doctor at the theatre, they want to operate her

Mum: Operate ke? What happened

Me: I went to barb my hair this evening, i came back to the house and saw her on the bed in her own pool of blood with knife stuck in her stomach

Mum: who stab her?

Me: I don’t know mummy

Mum: Did she commit suicide?

Me: why will she commit suicide? For what? In fact she was cooking, i was the one that put off the cooker when i entered the house and heard the smell of burnt food

Mum: So, what could have happened? Abi iru kileleyi ke…..God please come to our aid oo

Me: Am tired mum..what is all this
“we were still at the corridor discussing with my mum when we saw someone that look like Biola’s mum approaching, she was actually the one, she was with Biola junior sister, i started wondering how she knew we were at Lasuth that night, Doctor approached us that same time”

Doctor: Why did it take you guys so much time before bringing her down here?

Me: we brought her immediately it happened

Doctor: well, we tried our best but its so unfortunate that we lost her

Biola’s Mum: Lost kini? What do you mean doctor

Doctor: Am so sorry, she gave up the ghost during the surgery ooo

Biola’s Mum: Mo ku oooooo……ina omo jo mi oooo…o ti pami lomo, you killed my daughter, now you have killed her, you have killed her abi, now its good like this, you have led me well….where is baba biola ooooo…..am dead ooo (she held my cloth so tight and was dragging me)

My mother didn’t even know what to say, every one of us was crying seriously, not quite long they took somebody on a bed which look like her corpse, i was still deliberating on what next to do when Biola’s dad arrived late that night with some policemen, “Officer, this is the killer” said her father, “Oga, you are under arrest for the murder of Mz Abiola, you need to remain silent because whatever you say will be use against you in the court of Law”…
