What a day! True to YES INTERNATIONAL! Magazine’s story this morning, Lekan Shonde, the dock worker who allegedly killed his wife, Ronke, weeks back in Egbeda, Lagos, was hours ago arraigned at the Ebute Meta Chief Margistrate Court.
But just as he was being sent to Ikoyi Prisons where he will be remanded for 30 days first, the remains of his wife and mother of his two children were being interred at Atan Cemetery, in Yaba, Lagos amidst weeping and wailing by family members, friends and some of those whose paths and hers crossed at some point.
Mr. Shonde was charged with murder – and the determination will resolve the way and format his life will take next.
The couple had been together for 8 years until allegations of infidelity, assault, jealously ruined it. And today, while one of them is in the grave, the other is in prison. Abandoning their two innocent children – a boy and a girl.
