A female Lawyer, Yewande Oyediran, who was convicted of killing her
husband Lowo, was on Monday sentenced to seven years in prison by
Justice Muntar Abimbola of the Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan.
Yewande was convicted of manslaughter.
Yewande, a former staff of the Department of Public Prosecution in
the Oyo State Ministry of Justice, was accused of killing her husband
with a knife after a disagreement on February 2, 2016, at their
residence in Akobo area of Ibadan.
She was arrested and arraigned in court but she pleaded not guilty to the murder charge preferred against her.
According to Justice Abimbola, Yewande’s sentence was to start running since the day of her arrest.
The day of judgement was initially slated for November 24, 2017 but
the judge moved the day to November 27, 2017 because of other
engagements at the Nigerian Judicial Commission.
