A woman who paid people to help her kill off her own husband, has been given some temporary respite from her misery.
Oluchi Tochukwu Onyebuchi and the other two suspects
Oluchi Tochukwu Onyebuchi, a Lagos banker, who allegedly hired two assassins to murder her husband was on Tuesday granted N1 million bail by an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Magistrate M.O Olajuwon
also ordered that the two alleged hired assassins, Chigozie Nworie (32)
and Kingsley Ofelete (36), be remanded in Ikoyi Prisons.
The Prosecutor, Insp. Julius Babatope, told the court that
Onyebuchi, 32, contracted Nworie and Ofelete to assassinate her husband
on October 9 at No. 18, Fatai Kofo St., Agungi, Lekki.
He said, “The accused made away with the victim’s Land Rover
jeep with Reg. No. LND 275 DZ after hacking the complainant and pouring
acid on him.
“The victim’s HP laptop, iPhone, car documents and other
valuables estimated at N9.3 million were also taken away by the accused.
“Onyebuchi had informed the two accused on where she had hidden
machete, cutlass and acid in her husband’s compound which they were to
use in eliminating him.”
Babatope said that Nworie and Ofelete were arrested with the
victim’s blood-stained Range Rover on their way to deliver the car to
Onyebuchi’s brother in Anambra.
The trio are facing a three-count bordering on conspiracy, robbery and attempted murder.
The accused plea was, however, not taken.
The offences committed contravene Sections 228, 294 and 409 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Olajuwon adjourned the case to Jan. 23, pending legal advice from the DPP.
