Abasiesebanga Ikoiwak, 36, and five others have been detained for the suspected murder of her 41-year-old husband, Barrister Godwin Ikoiwak.
According to the witness who testified in front of the High Court, the late Barrister was unaware that the youngster who had been living with him in his residence for years was his wife’s son.
The wife was said to have informed him that the youngster was her younger brother.
In his evidence before the court, the deceased’s friend, who was also a barrister, indicated that Ikoiwak died after a phone call in which he revealed that he was experiencing problems with his wife over adultery.
Anyanwu went on to say that the dead intimated to him that he reported the incident to his wife’s family, who summoned him to a meeting on their family property, but he did not come home alive.
His wife has been charged with his murder and is set to stand trial.
In her evidence, the accused admitted that she worked as a housekeeper for a Catholic priest and that the priest impregnated her, and that they produced a kid, who is now the 19-year-old she brought into the marriage as a houseboy.
The prosecution provided audio evidence that was played in open court to entice the jury.
