It can be recalled that a course mate of the deceased, Oyeronke Oluwakemi, had claimed that Yetunde was poisoned to death by her husband and his mother over an argument with her religious status.

Yetunde, a former Christian, reportedly converted to Islam so as to marry her husband, who is a Muslim.

However, the deceased’s neighbours claim she drank poison after an argument with her husband after he revealed his intentions to marry a second wife which is permitted in Islam.

Speaking with Daily Trust, her husband’s brother, Alhaji Lagbe Araoje, said,

“On Monday, around 10am, she (Yetunde) had a little quarrel with her husband outside the house; it was settled and she went inside. The husband later gave her a phone that she had earlier requested.

“Some minutes later, the husband rushed out of the house crying for help that his wife was vomiting. On our way to the hospital, she was begging the husband for forgiveness that she had taken DDT powder popularly known as Sniper. She died in the hospital around 12pm.”

The husband of the woman who operates the chemist where Yetunde allegedly purchased the Sniper, Adio Tajudeen, also confirmed that she indeed bought the substance.

“It was when the news of her death broke that we knew she was living in the neighborhood. People buy the powder for many reasons; we don’t suspect it would be used for evil purposes.”
