Comfort Tinubu Arrested for Allegedly Stabbing Husband Olusegun to Death in Ibadan
In Oyo State, the police have arrested a 33-year-old woman, Comfort Olalere Tinubu, in connection with the death of her husband, Olusegun Tinubu, 39, following a heated argument at their home in the Adegbayi area of Ibadan.
The tragic incident took place on the night of Wednesday, October 30, leaving family members and neighbours in shock.
Comfort, a nursing mother, and Olusegun had been married for about three years and had two young children together.
According to sources close to the family, the argument reportedly began after Olusegun accused Comfort of locking their bedroom door from morning until evening.
He questioned her about leaving the house early in the day and returning around 7 PM, which led to a tense exchange.
One of Olusegun’s relatives, who asked to remain anonymous, shared details of the incident.
“I received a call around 10:03 PM, telling me that they had been arguing and that Comfort had stabbed him, but he was being taken to the hospital.
Not long after, around 10:30 PM, I got another call with the devastating news that my younger brother had passed away,” the relative said.
The argument reportedly escalated into a physical altercation when Olusegun allegedly slapped Comfort while she was breastfeeding their child.
At this point, another family member who lived with the couple intervened, managing to separate them and calm the situation temporarily.
This relative suggested that Olusegun spend the night in the living room to de-escalate any further confrontation.
However, according to the source, the tension reignited when Comfort later went to where Olusegun was resting in the living room and allegedly attacked him again, stabbing him in the back.
He screamed for help but collapsed shortly afterwards. When he was rushed to the hospital, doctors confirmed that he had succumbed to his injuries.
The family reported the incident to the police at the Gbagi station, and Comfort was detained for questioning.
Following the report, the case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) at Iyaganku, where further investigations are underway.
Neighbours and friends have expressed shock over the incident, describing the couple as generally peaceful.
Many are left grappling with questions about what could have led to such a fatal altercation between them.
The tragic loss has also left the couple’s two children without their father and their mother under police custody, a heart-wrenching outcome that has saddened the local community.
Nigerian Gospel Artist Israel Terhemba Ikyereve, popularly known by his stage name New Jerusalem, has reportedly passed away.
The late gospel singer passed away at the age of 53, friends and family as well as the government in Benue state mourns the loss of the singer.
The date of burial was also announced by his family, on Saturday, July 5, 2025, in Sati Agirigi, Mbamo, Shitile, Katsina-Ala LGA of Benue State.
Suspended Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, has distanced himself from campaign materials being circulated ahead of the 2027 elections. Fubara made it clear that he never approved the production of caps, shirts, or any other campaign items for the next general election.
Speaking to his supporters in Port Harcourt on Saturday, Fubara stressed that his focus is on restoring peace and stability in the state, not on political campaigns. His reaction follows the recent resolution of the political crisis in Rivers State by President Bola Tinubu.
The clash between Fubara and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory had sparked months of tension, which eventually led to Fubara’s six-month suspension from office. Tinubu even declared a state of emergency in Rivers State during the height of the crisis.
However, the president stepped in last week, holding talks with all parties at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, leading to a temporary truce. Fubara expressed his frustration over the campaign materials, saying, “I was really upset when someone sent me a video of people producing caps and shirts for the 2027 elections.
“I didn’t approve that, I didn’t send anyone to do that. For now, what Rivers State needs is peace so that we can focus on progress and development.”
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will be leading a national prayer session focused on reviving Nigeria’s struggling economy. The prayer is scheduled to take place during the church’s July 2025 Thanksgiving Service, themed “Divine Intervention”, at the RCCG national headquarters in Oyingbo, Lagos.
Speaking ahead of the event through his Special Assistant on Administration, Pastor Dele Balogun, Pastor Adeboye acknowledged that both Nigeria and other countries are facing tough times. But he believes the current hardship is not beyond repair if people embrace faith and take positive action.
“Our nation is going through serious challenges, just like other parts of the world. But the truth is, we can overcome them with faith, as long as we don’t give room to fear or doubt,” Adeboye said. He encouraged Nigerians to reject negative confessions and instead focus on faith-driven solutions, adding that with God’s intervention, the country’s economic situation can still turn around.
The upcoming prayer session, according to him, is not just about asking for change but about opening doors to new opportunities and paving the way for national transformation.
