Speaking to journalists after the hearing, the father, who identified himself simply as Mr. Arowolo, said he was aware that his son had been abusing his wife and he had, on many occasions, intervened.
He, however, added that the last time he learnt that Akolade beat up Titilayo, he decided not to intervene anymore.
“I have not seen Akolade and Titilayo since January. I decided to stop intervening because I was tired of settling their disputes. So, the last time I was told that Kolade had beaten Titilayo up, I decided I wouldn’t interfere. In fact, in my heart, I was hoping they would just get a divorce.
“It was with dismay that I received news that Akolade had killed his wife. Titilayo was such a nice lady. She used to call my wife a lot because they were quite fond of each other. Some months before this tragic incident, we tried calling her but unfortunately, her phone never went through. It was only later that we discovered that she had changed phones.”
Mr Arowolo pleaded with the immediate family of the deceased to forgive his son for his misdeed.
The case has been adjourned till September 9, 2011 for further hearing. Akolade is at the Ikoyi Prisons. - Punch

I just love some nigerian parents..they are upstanding and will never cover up evil even if its their son..this man has integrity...
What a pity...pls dont hate on the father as he has done the right thing to say the truth never believing the boy would ever think of killing a human being nonetheless his wife, but i hope he rots in jail, omo osi omo olorikori, what gives you the right to kill another person's daughter...huh
God forgive me for saying those words but cant believe somebody will kill another person --anon 6:fortyone
Cannot get over his arrogant..cocksure stance..he should have been slapped for flying that collar..9ja police must be treating him like a celeb..we all know what someone looks like after being in 9ja police custody...male or female for that matter...
Omg! Shelt men! Just looking at this guys face now and he went to the same secondary school as me! Thinking about it,He was weird u know, shelt men! And pls kolade, what d hell gave u d right to wear green White green? A proper Nigerian even in d face of troubles would not kill d rib of his ribs abi, was it a get rich quick scheme? Or r u d devils reincarnate? Or r u just plain crazy? I'm confused, I can't understand this guys actions
but nawa o, i think dis killer said the family never liked Titi, how come now dat d father said Titi was very friend with d mother-inlaw. He should die too.
he who kills by the sword should die by the sword. shikina
Piece of advice - Fellow women, be sure that the guy ur want to hook wit dat pregnancy is really in love with u, otherwise, ur heading to doom.
Every time i read this story i get more angry, all i pray is that justice should be served. The guy should die a slow and painful death. Death by hanging will be too good for him
Even his popsie know say that story he dey tell na nonsense lies. At least the father is a decent man, not trying to cover up the wrongs of his son.
linda enuf of these sad and violent stories on ur blog... cant keep putting bad information out there 4 people to digest.. give us some eduntainment ish abeg..
Isn't he innocent until proven guilty?
Furthermore, isn't it possible that he's innocent by reason of insanity?
bastard!
checking out titis stabbed body on menaukodo is ready's blog gets me more than angry with this animal
The apple usually doesn't fall far from the tree. My guess is, he grew up watching his brush his mother steadily. Hence the violent nature. The father later chose to no longer intefere because, he prolly didn't set a good example to start with, so his advises went unheeded! Just saying
Asshole,the wife-killer deserves a slow and painful death
anon 11:21am,
your foolishness is mind blogging.
according to your psychoanalysis, children born in broken homes end up in failed marriages and gays had fathers who were probably in the closet.Also every thief has a thief for a father or mother.
you need to get out more and have an idea how the real world works.
