Compulsory Marriage - S02 E27

Read Story: 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

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”…
