Akolade Arowolo, an RCCG youth pastor, was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging for murdering his wife, Titilayo, after the prosecution presented evidence, including testimony from a pathologist and family members.
A youth pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Akolade Arowolo, has been sent£nced to d!e by hanging for the muÏ€d£r of his banker wife, Titilayo.
Prose¢utors were able to present compelling £vidence that led to the conv!¢tion of Mr Arowolo and his sent£ncing by Justice Lateefat Okunu of the Ikeja High Court,
Testimony in the form of a forensic report from Prof. John Oladapo Obafunwa, a pathologist, was what the court used to determine that there was no way the deceased could have §tabbed herself to d£ath.
Immediately after the judgment, Arowolo fell down in the dock and started shouting “Jesus have mercy.” News reports that Prof Obafunwa testified that his aut0psy report revealed that Titilayo was kllld through kn!fe §tab w0unds.
There were claims by Pastor Arowolo, suggesting that his wife was p0ssessed and inflicted !njur!es on herself.
He noted that the kn!fe w0unds affected Titilayo’s left eye, right eye, upper chest area, right chest and collar bone. Prof. Obafunwa pointed out in his testimony that the dec£ased could not have inflicted such w0unds on herself.
To further prove its case, pros£cution invited some of Titilayo’s family members who testified that Arowolo and Titilayo had always had a tr0ubled m@rriage.
The family had at several times, settled serious f!ghts between the c0uple.
Youth PastorArowolo broke down in tears, after the judge handed him the d£@th §ent£nce, he had claimed he was innocent of klllng his wife. Having presented its c@se, the burden was shifted on Arowolo to def£nd himself.
Expectedly, Arowolo had his personal explanation as to what happened on the day Titilayo d!£d. First, he claimed that he and his dec£ased wife had passionate s£x for two hours and kissed on the same day she d!£d.
He claimed that Titi §t@bbed herself to d£@th on the day after they had a f!ght. Arowolo claimed that Titilayo was p0ssessed by an £v!l sp!rit and inflicted several §t@b w0unds on him before turning to herself. Arowolo’s father, Mudashiru and mother also testified of their son’s good behavior, insisting he could not have klll his wife.
They claimed that he has always been a good son.
