But when one of his children, Richmond (16) woke up to ease himself, he met his father vomiting some black substance in the bathroom and immediately rushed to their room to alert his aunt, one Veronica Imomoh.
However on reaching the bedroom Veronica met her sister in the pool of her blood, dead. She raised the alarm which alerted neighbours, consequent upon which Jafaru was arrested and the corpse of his late wife removed to the morgue by policemen from Akinpelu division.
