The 36-year-old mathematics teacher with Landmark Secondary School Omu-Aran, David Ogundele, who killed his girlfriend, Tosin Ashinwo, and stabbed her mother, Tuesday blamed the ugly incident on a spell cast upon him allegedly by his own wife.
Recall that late Tosin Ashinwo, was a Customer Care Officer with mobile telecommunication giant, MTN Nigeria, in Ilorin, Kwara State.
David, who was paraded Tuesday by the Kwara State Police Command, told newsmen that earlier stories about the incident which claimed he was frustrated because the deceased spurned his marriage proposals were mere fallacies.
David said the entire incident happened “in a flash” as he only came back to himself after the deed had been done and explained that he went into the relationship with the deceased because his marriage of seven years had not produced any child.
Looking rather sober, he said: “I was bewitched. It was a spell. I acted according to the dictates of the spell. We were lovers, I met her in November last year and things had been going on very well between us.
“Talks that she refused my proposal were mere rumours, mere fallacies. The truth is that we were friends. I loved her and she loved me back. But my wife, we have been married now for close to seven years with no issue, after seeing me with her you know people can cook up anything, they went to tell her stories and that made her to become angry and infuriated.
“She told me to my face that I would see something, that she would use everything she has as a woman to deal with me and lo and behold, a week after this dastardly incident happened. That’s all. People can say anything. I am not blaming her. She said it and it happened.”
