Late Ronke Shonde's Husband Appears In Court (photo)

Mr Lekan Shonde appeared before the Ebute Metta Chief Magistrates’ Court, Lagos today and maintained that he is a victim of bad marriage and that his mother before she died had warned him not to marry Ronke, but out of love he disobeyed his mother and went ahead to marry her.
He further said that was why when she started doing the "things" he accused of her of doing, he could not speak out because he had been warned earlier that she would not be a responsible wife but he didn't listen. May the good Lord deliver us from marital mistake.

Lekan was arraigned in court today for the murder of his wife, Ronke at their Egbeda, Lagos home on May 5th. He pleaded not guilty after the one-count charge of murder was read to him.

The Magistrate, Mrs Oluyemisi Adelaja, ordered after his plea, that he should be remanded at the Ikoyi Prisons for 30 days, pending an advice from the state’s Director of Public Prosecutions. The case has been adjourned till June 24 for mention.
