Nigerian man arrested for killing wife months after they relocated to the UK

A Nigerian man, Abodunde David Olubunmi, has been arrested in connection with the murder of his wife, Nurse Taiwo, a few months after they relocated to the UK.

The couple moved abroad with their three children at the beginning of 2023. However, shortly after, Taiwo filed a restraining order against her husband for reasons that were not made public.

Sadly, the man still found a way to harm her and killed her in cold blood. At the time of writing this story, the man has been remanded in jail in the UK while their children are currently in the custody of social services.

Confirming the sad news, Owoeye Adekunle, the brother of the deceased, took to Facebook to share the heartbreaking report and mourn her tragic passing.
