FROM BED TO MORGUE: WHO KILLED MOTHER OF TWO IN HER SLEEP?

Moyin, as she was fondly called, was a nurse with two children. A squabble with the mother of her betrothed was causing a drag in her planned wedding. Suddenly she was found dead in her bed in a pool of her own blood. How did this happen?

Police authorities in Ekiti State are currently investigating the gruesome murder of a nurse in the hands of yet-to-identified assassins. The nurse, identified as Moyin Oluwa, was recently reportedly hacked to death while having her siesta. MoyinOluwa lived with her parents at Ayedun area of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State and worked as a nurse at a hospital in Ise Ekiti. Already a mother of two kids, she was betrothed to one Abayomi Osire, the prime suspect in her murder.

Though engaged to Abayomi, since they were yet to be legally married, they still lived separately. Both would have been weeded, it was learnt, but for a major quarrel between the deceased and her would-be mother in-law. It was reported that sometime last year; MoyinOluwa allegedly sent an abusive text message purportedly from her phone to the old woman.

This did not go down well with the woman, who swore that her son would not marry MoyinOluwa. The deceased, it was gathered, denied being the brain behind the controversial text message, but Abayomi reportedly pressured her to own up to her crime, which the latter vehemently declined.

It got to a point between the two lovers that Abayomi allegedly threatened to do anything in his powers to his wifeto- be if she refused to own up. The lovers were still in the thick of this crisis when MoyinOluwa met her untimely death.

On a Sunday not long ago, Moyin, as the woman was fondly called by family and friends, had a professional examination to write at the teaching hospital in the state capital.

Upon returning from the examination centre, the deceased was asked to join the entire household for morning service in the church. She reportedly declined going for the service on account of fatigue after a rigorous examination she just finished writing. She was left alone while other members of the family proceeded to the church. Unknown to them, however, that was the last time they would see their daughter and mother alive.

Hours after the church service, the family returned home not to find her in the house. MoyinOluwa’s adopted father, Mr Ogundare, told reporters that the death of his daughter was hard to swallow and called on security agents to investigate the prime suspect because of his past actions and utterances about the deceased.

“It was on a Sunday and we were all supposed to be at the church, Moyin loved to go to church and she never liked missing Sunday services particularly. But on this fateful day, she had an examination to write in town and she left the house quite early.

She later returned and when we were ready to go to church, she said she wanted to sleep well because she read all through the night,” Ogundare said. “When we returned from church, she was supposed to open the door for us but when she was called upon there was no response from within. Surprisingly, the doors were left widely opened. “I went through the back door to check her in room thinking she was still sleeping up to that time.

But I was shocked to see her in an awkward position. I then ran to the front door. The door was already opened. As we entered we met her in the pool of her own blood. She was dead,” he added.

He also told law enforcement agents that the family’s cutlass usually used to weed the compound was used to carry out the dastardly act. The man claimed that they hurriedly placed a call to MoyinOluwa’s fiancé but his mobile phone was switched off.

Ogundare claimed that his step daughter’s fiancée only called him the third day with a different number claiming he had been away from town. Ogundare also claimed that after she was gruesomely murdered, MoyinOluwa’s mobile phone and N250, 000 she withdrew from the bank some days earlier and kept in her room were all carted away.

Spokesman for Ekiti State Police Command, Victor Babayemi, confirmed the incident to reporters, but the prime suspect is currently being detained at Oke Ila police station while awaiting the autopsy of the deceased. Babayemi said that upon completion of investigation, the perpetrators of the act would be made to face the full weight of the law.
