Brenda also confirmed that it was not the first time Adeniyi Jose made an attempt on his wife’s life. Also said that Jose had no job while her sister was the breadwinner.
She said:
“
He is jobless while my sister is the one feeding him and taking care of their 9-year-old child. My Sister works at the registers department of the General Hospital, Suleja Niger state.”
Adeniyi first attempted to kill my sister in the first week of April when my sister returned from fixing our dad’s house in the village. My dad was with Road Safety and his pension money was used to fix his house.
We agreed that she should play that role because she was a graduate. He called her and disturbed her so much that she had to run back and when she did, that same night, he almost killed her with a sharp knives he had bought and drank SNIPER.
The case was reported to the police at Suleja and nothing was done about it”.
