“My sister’s problem started after she discovered that Lekan had a love child – Late Ronke’s sister

  
In a new chat with Punch newspaper, the first and only surviving child of the family, Bolatito Bewaji, said that Lekan Shonde allegedly killed her sister due to jealousy and insecurity. She said the problem started when Ronke discovered that he had a child outside wedlock.
Bolatito said her sister had endured a long period of domestic abuse, adding that sometime in December 2015, just after their brother died in an accident, she almost packed out of his house but stayed back because of her children and after a pastor on the street and their landlady intervened.

She said after that time, their mother insisted she signed an undertaking at a police station that whatever happened to her, the family would not be involved. Bolatito said her sister never cheated, saying the relationship between Ronke and the manager in question was professional.

She also said Lekan did not buy her two cars as he claimed. That she has been struggling to raise N70k to change the gearbox of her car and she’d sometimes ask her ( Bolatito ) for money for her children’s school fees and other things, but he (Lekan) would check her account and ask who sent the money and they would start fighting over it.

Another family member said when Ronke refused to take any action on the love child, her husband checked her phones to know if she was dating another person in retaliation. He said, “Before she got her job, whenever she was going for an interview, he would commission a motorcyclist to trail her and check if she actually went for the interview or not.

“If she told him she was going to see a friend, he’d call that friend some minutes later and said he could not reach his wife on her phone and would like to talk to her through the friend’s phone; just to check if she was there.

At a point, he started waiting for her at the gate at night to see who would drop her at the gate. It got to a point that he sent friendship request to all her male friends on Facebook and got their contacts and started calling and harassing them. The man is insecure and jealous.” Cc: Punch Newspa
