Police have given a graphic detail of last year’s gruesome killing of Lagos lawyer, Symphorosa Otike-Odibi, by her lawyer wife, Udeme.
Police told the court that Udeme, in her statement, confessed to killing her husband and cutting his manhood.
Udeme was arraigned on June 13, 2018 on a two-count charge of murder and misconduct.
According to the prosecutor, Udeme stabbed Symphorosa, also a lawyer, to death and mutilated his corpse by cutting off his genitals on May 3, 2018, at their Diamond Estate, Sangotedo, Lekki, Lagos home.
When the prosecutor sought to tender the two statements which Udeme allegedly made to the police, her counsel, opposed the admissibility of the statements as evidence saying they were not made in the presence of the defendant’s lawyer as required by law.
The court however adjourned until February 25th to consider the admissibility of the statements in a trial within trial.
