Titi was possessed by demons in high places; that's why I killed her - Redeemed Pastor A. Arowolo who killed his wife in June

Akolade Arowolo, 30, a murder suspect wants young men to learn from his incarceration. Mr Arowolo a businessman is in police custody for allegedly killing his wife, Titilayo, on June 24th at their residence at No 8, Akindeinde Street, Isolo. Mr Arowolo, however, denied killing his wife. He said contrary to waht people think, it was his late wife that attempted to kill him that on fateful day, which also happened to be his 30th birthday.
He added that his wife’s death was “the handiwork of spiritual wickedness in high places in operation. If I tell you that I can fully grasps what happened that day then I will be lying, but that day my wife was not the Titi I knew, she was possessed by a demon, she became stronger and wild and she stabbed me on my left hand, before I could stop her, she went on to stab me in the stomach, and all over my chest and when I tried to wrestle the knife from her I ended up being slashed on my right palm; as I was trying to get help, my wife had gone on to stab herself several times; unfortunately, she is dead and cannot talk about the incident.”
A marriage doomed from the beginning
Mr Arowolo got married to the late Titi, a staff of Skye Bank, Marina branch in 2010, the marriage is blessed with a baby girl, Olamide. Unfortunately, the couple had engaged each other in various squabbles which led to her death that day. “Titi and I were just friends back in the university, I am a born again Christian and I have a calling to be a pastor, I am a staunch member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Christ Parish, Gbagada, but my marriage has been hell.
First of all, I was dating a lady and we were planning to get married, but my wife then was just a friend and she confessed that she loved me, one thing led to the other and I ended up having premarital sex with her, she came back a few months to say that she was pregnant and she could not abort the pregnancy and her family said I must marry her, so that was how I ended up marrying her because of the pregnancy,” Mr Arowolo said.
Mr Arowolo narrated how the murder incident took place. “That day was my birthday and she was on leave, she told me that we should celebrate it but I said we should have a low key birthday, just three of us, my wife started quarrelling saying that she was tired of the marriage that one of her aunties called aunty Olabisi is pressurising her to leave me; I started begging her not to leave me that day but she insisted she must leave that day; I even called a neighbour, an elderly woman to beg her; after a lot of persuasion, she went into the bedroom and as I was entering the room to see her, she jumped on me with a knife and stabbed me on the left hand, I shouted saying ‘what is the meaning of this?’ She told me that since I didn’t want her to leave, she would kill me and kill herself; I pushed her to the bed trying to wrestle the knife from her and she came back on me stronger like one possessed with a demon, she stabbed me in my stomach and slashed my wrist, she went on to stab me all over my chest before killing herself. Unknown to me, my wife had locked all the doors, and I had to jump from the building to get help, I was the one who reported the incident to the police at Ejigbo, I didn’t run away as speculated.
I loved my wife, the truth is that my wife and I quarrelled a lot and the marriage was hell, I would have divorced her but the Bible passage that says that God hates divorce kept stopping me and I also thought of my daughter; if I had known, I would have divorced her a long time ago, maybe I would not be in this mess today, my advice to young men is that they should hold on to God, they should not allow any lady or family pressure to lure them into a marriage with pregnancy and they should divorce their wives if they have irreconcilable differences in their marriages and then ask God for forgiveness; it is better that way than ending in this mess as I am, I have learnt my lessons the hard way and I know God will vindicate me, because I did not kill my wife.”

This man ma sef, oga you too get mouth to talk "she was possessed". Unless you were seriously decking her and threatening that you would kill her if she left you, why would she try to kill YOU so she could leave you. Anyway, it is hard to believe you did not do it. Her coworkers have testified to the bruises she would show up to work with. I am guess they were self inflicted. Anyway sha, only God knows the truth but I pray justice is served (not Casey Anthony style sha)
Let this man continue to speak, he is making his own noose very well.
hmmm...
To think they were once on love.....
This chap's story keeps hitting new heights of absurdity.. I only hope justice is served, eventually.
P.S. - TNOtes doesn't have the *ahem* 'hard body of Eunuch or male servant' to speed up this recovery? Or are you the one refusing to accept his prescriptions?
Looks like anger management and self-control was the issue
Really? that is his excuse? she was possessed and she forced him to have premarital sex + marriage? for real? the guy needs a mental assessment.
Lol!In as much sad,the guy's story is ridiculous!Esp the bit of 'oh well,too bad,she's dead now and cannot confirm any of this bullshit'!
@The RustGeek: Thanx o,at least someone's recognising my efforts!Been up all night cuddling and serving,being a darling,and absolutely no thanx!
i don tire for this guy and his nonsense. You killed her, end of discussion! Why is he still talking?
I read this statement to my friend and he said..watch it, this guy may just go free.
If all the women's group, ministry of women affairs, human rights, DV groups in Nigeria let this matter go free, then I lose all faith in Nigeria. let's keep writing.
Thanks oh. The amount of abuse I have received on facebook plus the attempts to divert my attentiuon to other issues I clesrly didn't raise doesn't stop me from airing my points. The judiical system for the naija woman at best is slow at most is non existent. The justice level achieved by abused women even deceased kpakpa was not achieve dby their sitting at home eaything ukodo or gebegiri. Thanks all. I appreciate.
