Following the incident at their home in the upscale Alagbaka neighborhood, many people are curious as to what went wrong between the two lovers.
Locals claim that Adelabu, who is well-known in the community as “Shessy Emirate,” cut his wife multiple times with a machete after he supposedly discovered her having an affair.
Emirate, who runs networks of gas stations and filling stations, was rumored to have driven out of his home to purchase the lethal insecticide Sniper after mercilessly killing her.
He consumed the substance upon returning home, at which point he released the ghost.

Around six o’clock at night, the deceased boy called the police stationed at his home in Akure’s Alagbaka neighborhood to inquire about his father.

The couple’s bodies have been placed to the mortuary in the interim.
