| youth pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), | |
| Akolade Arowolo, was on Tuesday sentenced to death by by Justice | |
| Lateefat Okunu of an Ikeja High Court for the murder of his | |
| wife, Titilayo Arowolo. | |
| Titilayo worked with Skye bank, where her husband is also | |
| employed. | |
| Arowolo was handed the death sentence in a three hour judgment | |
| in which justice Okunu said evidence before the court proved | |
| that Arowolo actually murdered his wife in their matrimonial | |
| home. | |
| Testimony in the form of a forensic report from Prof. John | |
| Oladapo Obafunwa, a pathologist, was what the court used to | |
| determine that there was no way the deceased could have stabbed | |
| herself to death as claimed by the pastor. | |
| Arowolo had also claimed that his late wife was possessed and | |
| inflicted injuries on herself. | |
| However, according to Prof. Obafunwa's forensic report, Titilayo | |
| was killed through 76 knife stab wounds. | |
| He noted that the knife wounds affected Titilayo�s left eye, | |
| right eye, upper chest area, right chest and collar bone. | |
| Prof. Obafunwa pointed out in his testimony that the deceased | |
| could not have inflicted such wounds on herself. | |
| To further prove its case, prosecution invited some of | |
| Titilayo�s family members who testified that Arowolo and | |
| Titilayo had always had a troubled marriage. | |
| The family members included Titilayo�s father, George Oyakhire; | |
| sister, Ijeh and mother-in-law, Mrs Adetoun Yeside Oyakhire. | |

| The three witnesses testified that the couple lived a cat and | |
| mouse life. They claimed that the family had at several times, | |
| settled serious fights between the couple. | |
| None of the witnesses however saw what actually happened on the | |
| day Titilayo died. | |
| It was also reported that Arowolo�s co-tenant, Adewale Adeyemi | |
| also gave evidence in the case. | |
| Adeyemi in his evidence said that on the day of the incident he | |
| heard a loud noise when he was in his apartment and later saw | |
| Arowolo rushing out with a deep cut in his palms. | |
| Adeyemi also claimed to have seen a hammer and a knife with a | |
| broken handle in the yard. | |
| Other witnesses include the security man at Arowolos� residence, | |
| Investigating Police Officer and an MTN Staff. | |
| Arowolo�s parents testified that their son was incapable of | |
| murder. | |
| Youth PastorArowolo broke down in tears, after the judge handed | |
| him the death sentence, claiming he was innocent of killing his | |
| wife. | |
| Arowolo had claimed that he and his deceased wife had passionate | |
| sex for two hours and kissed on the same day she died. | |
| He said that Titi stabbed herself to death on the day after they | |
| had a fight. | |
