A popular radio presenter with Faaji FM, a sister company of Africa Independent Television, Mr Soji Omotayo, recently escaped death by a whisker when a jealous husband attacked him with a machete.
The man, a car dealer at Sango, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, accused Omotayo of having an affair with his wife.
The furious husband, Kunle (surname withheld), attacked Omotayo on August 22. Omotayo said that he was surprised by the attack because he and Kunle had been doing business together for years. Kunle was said to have lured the victim to his house at Sango on that fateful day, saying that he had secured a ‘publicity job’ for him.
Omotayo and his Personal Assistant got to Kunle’s house around 8am and called him on the phone that they were already at his gate. The presenter left his PA inside his car and went to meet his supposed benefactor. He said: “I was ushered into his living room. When I entered, I met his daughter and wife there.
They greeted me and left the living room. I noticed that he locked the door, but did not remove the key from the keyhole. The man then asked me if my wife was in Nigeria and I said yes. He told me to call her that he just wanted to say hello to her.
“What shocked me most was that after he collected the phone from me, he told my wife he purposely invited me to his house just to kill me. He told my wife that I was dating his wife.”
Omotayo said that before he knew what was happening, Kunle had pocketed his phone and brought out a sharp machete from his trousers.
Kunle allegedly inflicted cuts on Omotayo’s head, arm and stomach. Omotayo said: “I started shouting for help. Before I knew what was happening, another machete landed on my stomach. I struggled with him to take possession of the machete. I pushed him away before I was able to open the door and locked him inside.
Some of the residents gathered at the gate to see what was happening.” The presenter explained that it was his call for help that alerted his PA and residents of the area. He said: “My PA and his wife joined in calling for help. People rushed into the compound. Among the people that rushed to his house was Alhaji Moruf Alagbe, who invited policemen from Onipanu Police Station, near Obasanjo Farms in Ota.
The policemen took me to their station alongside the suspect.” Omotayo said that he was rushed to the hospital by one Inspector Liasu from the police station, where his head was stitched. He added: “Other parts of my body where I sustained injuries were treated. I was then brought back to the station, where some family members of the culprit had gathered.
They begged me for settlement, but I told the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) that what I wanted was justice.” According to Omotayo, when he reported to the station the following day, he was shocked to discover that Kunle had been granted bail. The case was later transferred to Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos State for further investigations.
At press time, Kunle could not be reached on his mobile phone as it was switched off. When contacted on the phone, the Zone 2 Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Lawal Adebowale, said he was driving. But, subsequently, Adebowale refused to pick his calls.

WTF....na wah oh!
Two sides to every story. True or false only Jehovah can tell.

ReplyDeleteNa wa o! So this actually happened right under my nose...???
ReplyDeleteYour comment will be visible after approval
talk true u dey fuck the woman????
ReplyDeleteHahahahahahahaa I love this question.
DeleteDoes that mean he deserves what happened to him?
DeleteThere is no smoke without fire. Mr Kunle and others like him, stay away from married women. Single girls nor reach una again.
ReplyDeleteRead it Again; Mr kunle is the jealous husband while mr Omotayo is the causer of the trouble according to SDK english.
DeleteMr. Omotayo are you dating his wife.. why will he invite you to kill you.
ReplyDeleteUna never talk true. Am sure the wife na yellow pawpaw. una no dey take eye see women for owambe party.
Mr man, are you sure you are not fucking his wife???
ReplyDeleteAnd if he is? Does that mean he deserves to die? If Nigeria had a good legal system, the so called Kunle would be charged for attempted murder and would spend significant amount of years in prison. It would serve as a warning to others who might consider killing someone else because their wife is cheating.
DeleteIf a wife or husband is cheating in a marriage, it means there is a marital breakdown somewhere and the couple are supposed to work on it. Using fear, intimidation or violence to keep a spouse in check has never worked.
Lol @faji fm
ReplyDeleteOtu and Amu is causing a lot of wahala this days…hmm..
ReplyDeleteWat is dis? i usually hear of women brutalising dere husband's supposed mistress, but a man doing dis to a fellow man over his wife is not common. Wat they usually do is to set a trap, catch her red handed and of course send her packing.
ReplyDeleteHusbands dt do dt already have girlfriends outside or are not really in love wt their wives anymore or are just like 'can uimagine dis idiot cheating on me when i can replace her in 1 minute'.
DeleteMen dt are IN LOVE & CHERISH their wives, who are completely devastated by d news & cant imagine life wtout their wife would do this.

ReplyDeleteHmmm jealousy! Nawa o
ReplyDeleteE no get anything wey we no go hear for this obodo Nigeria. Even if the guy is having an affair with your wife, is it enough to kill him and spend the rest of your life behind bars??? Is there even any proof of an affair? Was he planning to kill the guy in his own sitting room? Sick people everywhere. Then the Nigerian police granting such a quick bail... I hail una o
ReplyDeleteThat's very bad of kunle..at the same time...Mr radio presenter,if truly u were having affairs with his wife then that serves u right
ReplyDeleteOmotayo, you are yet to answer the big question. You gbensh the wife or not? Better answer now cos I still see that man coming after you if u don't clear the air.
ReplyDeleteSuch stories always involve poor jobless people.
ReplyDeleteIf the were hardworking and responsible, am such we will be reading a different story.
Rubbish
He brought out the machete from his trousers?? Did he strap it to his leg or what...
ReplyDeleteLol, funny story.
DeleteIt is well oo
ReplyDeleteWonders shall neva end
ReplyDeleteFor a man to attack another man
ReplyDeleteThere are two things involved:
1..Is either he is sleeping with the other mans wife
Or 2.....The man that attacked him just found out that the children that he has been taking care of,is for another man...I mean the radio presenter
And besides..@OAPs can dey flirt
The men dere dem be gigolo....the ladies dere dem can dey do coded runs

ReplyDelete.....well the question he did not answer or talk abt is whether he slept with the man's wife or not?and if paradventure he did,den he had it coming..!lesson to all covetous men out there.
ReplyDeleteLmao. In the language .its normal.
ReplyDeleteTheir men can never see toto and run.
Hm! Corruption will always stall so many things in Nigeria.God help us.But Oga faaji did u do it nbok?
ReplyDeleteI don't even know what to say.
ReplyDeleteThis is all false ..Mr Kunle a.k.a Agarawu twisted the story.. soji did not sleep with his wife, the issue that kunle had with soji is a Land issue and he has warned him not to step his feet on the land again which resulted in him attacking soji. soj got kunle arrested already but because he is one of the biggest tokunbo cars in Ota, he was bailed out early.He has been re-arrested again yesterday, his wife was invited by the DPO and the wife denied such relationship with soj. So stella get your facts before rushing to publish news, i know this as i am an insider..
