The Lagos State Police Command has arrested, a 31-year-old man, his mother and sister after his wife was found dead at home with a slit to her neck.
Isaac Ajisegiri was charged for the alleged murder of his wife, Endurance following evidence from the crime scene. His mother, Florence, and sister, Esther were taken into custody as suspects.
Endurance is believed to have been murdered in her home located at 1 Ajani Salawu Street, Shasha, Lagos, on Saturday.
According to reports, the victim’s brother, Caleb Agbobonye, said that the marriage was troubled with complications but that the couple had reconciled recently.
“They have been married for about four years and they had a child together. They also run an education consulting firm not too far from their house.
“Problem started after Isaac was accused of having an affair with one of their employees. They fought over the issue for quite some time. She even moved out of the house but they later reconciled.
“On Saturday, one Stanley, who happens to be Isaac’s friend, came to pick her (Endurance) from the office, saying her husband’s family were waiting for her at the house to resolve a dispute,” he said.
The director, Project Alert on Violence Against Women, Josephine Effah-Chukwumah, reacted to the news after her agency took up the case.
“Marriage is not a do-or-die affair. Anyone who is in an abusive relationship should feel free to walk out. The neighbours and the police also need to be more involved in this battle so that we can prevent deaths or harm to people,” she said.
The Punch reports:

 Agbobonye said on Sunday morning, Stanley called Endurance’s relatives informing them that she was dead and that her body had been taken to Crystal Hospital.
Our correspondent, who visited the couple’s home, learnt that the matter was reported at Shasha Police Division on Sunday.
Some neighbours said on the condition of anonymity reported the case to the police.
Asked if the couple had a history of domestic violence, one of the neighbours said, “There are four flats in this compound and we all mind our own business.
“We don’t know if they fight. All we know is that we saw the family carrying her corpse and we observed that her neck was slit so we went to report at the police station.”
At  the station, policemen on duty said the matter had been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Yaba.
When our correspondent visited the Homicide Department of the SCID, the suspects were seen writing statements.
Isaac however told PUNCH Metro that his wife killed herself with the knife.
The indigene of Kogi State said on the day of the incident, she was acting crazy and would not listen to pleas from the family.
Esther and Florence however did not speak as they looked dumbfounded.
Police sources told our correspondent that investigations were ongoing, adding that Stanley was at large.
