Chidera Odoh, the 17-year-old son of the woman who allegedly stabbed her husband to death in Awori, Majidun area of Ikorodu, Lagos state on Christmas Day has said that his mother did not intentionally kill his father.

Odoh also revealed that earlier news on social media and other media outlets where his mother was alleged to have stabbed his father to death over his inability to provide for the family needs during Christmas was false.

Odoh, who was a witness to the incident, told Vanguard that the quarrel that led to his father’s death started when his father accused his mother of infidelity.

According to the bereaved teenager: “ My mother did not intentionally kill my father. She never meant to stab him, it was all a mistake.”

Continuing, he said: “When my mother and I returned from the market where we went to sell rice and pepper soup on Christmas day, she went straight to bed, saying she was tired. Later, daddy came back home drunk and also went to bed.

"The next thing we heard was mum telling dad to leave her alone. He started accusing her again of visiting some of her boyfriends. Dad was fond of accusing my mother of having an affair with any man that came to buy rice and pepper soup from her.

“They started quarrelling and dad stood up from the bed and broke a bottle which he threatened to stab my mother with. I held my father , begging him not to carry out his threat.

"One of our neighbours, uncle Kola who came in, collected the broken bottle from my father. “But daddy rushed out and came back with a kitchen knife which he threatened to stab my mother with.

“My mother moved closer to him to collect the knife. But in the process of struggling with him, it pierced into my father’s stomach.

"When my mother noticed what happened, she called out for help. I was among those who rushed my father to the hospital, where he was confirmed dead on arrival."
