Why I bathed my married lover with acid – 43-year-old man

A 43-year-old man identified as Yisau Adeleke, is currently cooling his heels in Agodi prisons in Ogun state for bathing his lover, Morufa Ajoke Odesanya, with acid. Adeleke committed the offence on November 25, 2015 but was arrested nine months after, on August 7.
Speaking with Tribune at the weekend, Adeleke said he bathed his 36-year-old lover, a mother of five with acid after he discovered she was married, contrary to her claim of being a widow.
He said, “I had a wife, Ronke, who had two children for me but I later discovered that she had two children for two men before she married me. She also decided that she had had the number of children that she wanted, asking me to look for another woman if I needed more.

So I started dating Odesanya and she asked me to rent a room for her, which I did.
“She told me she was a widow with two children. She showed me a man who she claimed to be her brother, but I later discovered was her husband.
“She took me to her mother and I took her to my aunt, to introduce her as my wife-to-be.
“We used to have sex regularly to the level that even during her menstrual period; she would beg me to have sex with her, saying she could not keep off me.
”This continued until I came in contact with Magun (a charm in the Yoruba culture that when placed on a woman, any man that sleeps with her order than her husband, must die) in the course of our affair,” Adeleke added.

Speaking further, he said, “It was as if my navel was twisted and I also had a tongue twist. I started feeling dizzy. This made me to raise the alarm and an Islamic cleric came to my rescue by making some incantations.”
The 43-year-old man said though he became a bit relieved, the stomach ache continued.
“The next thing Odesanya (his lover) said was that she believed that the Magun was the handiwork of her mother-in-law.
“I asked whether she went to her mother-in-law and for the reason she would want to harm her daughter-in-law’s fiancé since her son was dead. To my surprise, Odesanya called me same day and asked about my condition. She then added that she had sex with one Baba Bidemi, and it proved that what I experienced was not Magun.
“Baba Bidemi was the man she called her brother. I was confused and this made me to decide that I was no longer interested in the relationship if she could deceive me for about two years that we were together. She started begging me.
“So, when I discovered she was married, I ended the affair but we were still meeting because I wanted to collect the money I contributed as a member of a group we formed for the purpose of contributing money that we could collect in bulk.
“She collected hers and when I was to collect mine, she said that had given it to her husband to pay FRSC fine.
“To my surprise, when I saw the husband, he was riding a brand new motorcycle.
“This infuriated because I felt used and I planned and poured her acid,” Adeleke said, blaming the devil for the evil act.
Reports say the accused will be re-arraigned in court on November 9 for trial.
