  • Again, Danish murder suspect denies complicity, narrates how he woke up to find wife, daughter dead

    Again, Danish murder suspect denies complicity, narrates how he woke up to find wife, daughter dead

    A Danish national, Peter Nielsen, accused of killing his Nigerian wife and daughter has told a Lagos High Court that he woke up in the morning and found the victims dead on the kitchen floor.

    Nielsen stated this on Tuesday during the resumption of his trial, adding that he watched a football match together with his wife and was intimate with her a night before her death.

    “I kissed my wife and daughter and went back to sleep, about 2:35 am,” the Danish national told the court.

    “I woke up around 7:30 am and noticed that my wife was not in the bedroom so I went to look for her.”

    He was led in evidence by his counsel, Mr. Olasupo Shashore (SAN), who told the court that the evidence of the defendant was very crucial to his defence.

    He told the court that on April 4, 2018, his family members watched television together.

    Nielsen said his wife joined him to watch a football match which was unusual.

    About the night of the football match, Mr. Nielsen said his wife knew it was a very important match to him and to his surprise she watched it with him.

    He continued that around 9:45 pm, his wife and he continued watching the highlights from the game, before going to bed together.

    He said that around 2:30 am, they both were woken by their daughter, Petra, who entered the room and said she wanted to watch cartoons on the iPad. And that his wife took Petra to the sitting room to watch cartoons on the Television.

    The witness/defendant said he went to the kitchen and got some juice and snacks for Petra, while his wife warmed some food for Petra later.

    The witness said he entered the sitting room and found their maid and other girls standing in the sitting room.

    Nielsen said he asked them about his wife but they said they didn’t know.

    He said he searched for his wife but saw her lying lifeless with their daughter on the kitchen floor. Nielsen said there was a strong smell of gas when he opened the kitchen door.

    The witness said he tried to resuscitate his wife and daughter but when he realised that they were dead, he called his wife’s stepfather and told him and his wife to come to Lagos.

    He said police arrived shortly before noon and asked him to call their family doctor.

    “The doctor eventually came and afterward certified the two bodies dead,” he said.

    However, while the witness was trying to narrate about the wife’s step father, the prosecution led by the Commissioner for Justice Lagos State, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN) objected to the evidence.

    Onigbanjo said it was hearsay evidence and hence should not be admitted in evidence.

    The defendant counsel maintained that the court should allow the evidence.

    After the counsel’s argument, Justice Bolanle Okikolu-Ighile, adjourned for ruling and continuation of hearing until November 23.

  • Ikoyi collapsed building: Femi Osibona’s family speaks on alleged feud with his wife

    Ikoyi collapsed building: Femi Osibona’s family speaks on alleged feud with his wife

     

    The family of the Managing Director of Fourscore Homes, Femi Osibona, has refuted reports in the media of a feud between the wife of the deceased and his siblings.

    It spoke in a statement titled: “Putting the records straight about the libellous vituperations on Femi Osibona’s family.”

    The statement by a lawyer, Olufemi Adeniyi, on Monday read: “Just few hours after the official announcement of the passing of Mr Femi Osibona (Fourscore), the owner of the ill fated multi storey Ikoyi building, I was alarmed and literally emetic, to put it mildly, to read the heartless publication: ‘wife, brothers of late owner of collapsed Ikoyi building, Osibona fight over bank details, exotic cars, other assets, engaged lawyers’.

    “What a wicked imagination from the heart of man, whom the erring news medium called, Source!

    “This ignominious report came, as I said, at a time family, friends, classmates, church members, well wishers and thousands of acquaintances of the deceased, some Ikenne indigenes, three Ex-Mays, staff of the deceased and others who lost their lives were thrown into a bereavement. The online media house that carried the news at first, to everyone’s knowledge, is known for it’s biased conducts in reportages – which I wouldn’t take my precious time to talk about.

    “Its viral contents, thereafter, got to the laps of idle persons, (equipped with a phone and data without professional wherewithal), who transmit unconfirmed news items from their homes, and off it goes. Posted, shared, liked, circulated. Lies becomes truth. The reports mentioned wife, brothers, family, etc. I have often wondered if the ‘source’ of such a news outlet with a household name doesn’t supply the names of the characters involved, I feel sorry for what journalism has turned into. It is true that in a time of universal deceit, truth is a revolutionary act.

    “Now, here is the truth of the matter.

    “The ‘brothers’ that the sadistic media houses referred to were actually Ebun, who is female and Lanre, both of whom have no time to ambush anyone on any matter whatsoever. They are the best anyone would love to dwell. While the wife in reference is a peace-loving soulful woman, Doyin, all of whom as a united family are still, more than anyone, grieving over the loss of their departed loved one. Doyin had just returned home from UK with her second daughter Pelumi who is studying medicine abroad, in order to meet the family and plan a befitting burial for her husband. It was all tears, hugs, condolences, sympathy, comfort, solace, prayers, and fellow feeling that followed, having not seen one another in weeks. Photos don’t lie. Just this past Saturday, 6th day of November, 2021, the grieving family were together consoling one another, as evidenced in this shot I stumbled upon, picturing Femi Osibona’s wife, one of the assumed ‘brothers’ in the carefree report, who actually is the deceased sister Ebun and Sola Olabiran the deceased big brother/confidant.

    “I plead with the public to allow this family mourn peacefully, and cease from speculating unsubstantiated suppositions. Unfortunately, the assumption of fights and discord in the family which I just put on straight record and rest is only one of the numerous false allegations that is being peddled about the late Femi Osibona and the collapsed building on Gerrard Street.”
