“We believe that the police will do a
thorough job and the case will get to court. We believe in the
judiciary. But, we have fear that some people may want to manipulate
some things because the accused is a lawyer and she works with the
Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) in Oyo State Ministry of
Justice. All the family wants is justice in this case. We don’t want any
game at all. We don’t want justice to be perverted,” he said.

According to Oyediran, the bone of
contention was the fact that Lowo had a son from another woman in
France, whereas his three-year marriage with Yewande had not produced
any issue. The domestic dispute was said to have occurred when she
purportedly discovered that her husband had a son from another woman.

Lowo, a holder of French citizenship, was
billed to return to France tomorrow (Saturday). Rather, he was
dispatched to an early grave by his wife. Continuing, Oyediran said his
wife allegedly stabbed him with scissors which attracted the attention
of the landlord and other neighbours, who rushed Lowo to a nearby
hospital. He was treated and discharged.

But while in the hospital, Lowo gave his
phone to somebody, who snapped him. He was said to have sent the picture
to his official email address in France. But his business partner,
Mikel, automatically received the picture, showing blood oozing from his
body. He wore only a boxer in the picture.

Oyediran stated that the landlord and
other neighbours mediated in the development and settled the case
amicably for the duo. He accused Yewande of stabbing Lowo in the neck
while the latter was asleep.

Lowo and Yewande, he stated, got married
on February 9, 2013 at the Cathedral of St Peters’ Aremo, Ibadan. He
said Lowo travelled to France in 2006 and did not come back to Nigeria
until 2013 when he got married. He explained that Lowo contacted him in
2012 that he wanted a responsible Nigerian lady to marry and Yewande was
introduced to the family by her younger sister, who got married to a
native of Gbongan based in the United State. His family, he said,
arranged for how Lowo and Yewande met in Dubai before they decided to
get married.
