Akolade appeared before trial judge Justice Lateefat Okunnu of the Ikeja High Court this morning Friday Feb. 21 and was found guilty on one-count of murder. The judge said the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that he killed his wife.
"I pronounce the defendant guilty and accordingly sentenced to death,” Justice Okunnu pronounced. Akolade burst into tears after the verdict was read.
Akolade and Titilayo had been married for only two years and had a young daughter when he brutally attacked her with a knife on his birthday after they argued. Arolowo claimed in court that Titi had attacked him with the knife and eventually turned the knife on herself. The court didn't buy his story.

So sad a Love story has to end this way,that's a whole generation going down u know! Sad Sad Sad...

Let help each other.
Hmmmmmmmm. I feel for this baby. I just don't know. Smh
sad story
Good Riddance!!
Justice served. It's disheartening that d poor girl will become an orphan. Come to think of it, would she have been able to live with a father that killed her mom? Hmmm...
Thank God. Finally justice has been served
What a world
Since 2011, that is one long year...... Ok naija tried oh this one.......

Its sentencing like this that make me fall inlove with Nigeria but in reality theres no winner here. The poor wife wouldnt have died if only she left after the first slap/hit. Now the innocent child will be left without a mum or dad. Sad sad story hmmm nawa ooo
What a world
...and that's the way the cookie crumbles! You can't get away with murder
May his soul R.I.P i just have to tell him that bcos am sure by nw he had repented and awaiting the lord in the other side.....

too bad mr...... i pray you ask God for mercy.... sad!!!
Hmnnnn some cases are beyound common sense u need forensic experts and some speciallist. We have wat is called self inflicted wounds or injuries. How can dis judge in dis case prove dat d injuries on onlady was not self inflicted. Where did dey all do d measurement of d knife and d spot of injury. Some judges in nigeria have made d wrong person paid undue price, I am not saying dis guy is innocent I dont care I am only looking at d probability dat d judge could be wrong. We have seen people stab dem selves before stabbing d person dey arr fighting with but only experts or withnesses can say wat is wat. I implore dis guy to appeal if we have anything like dat. D daughter will be mother less and fatherless both families can never settle
He who kills by the knife dies by the knife....
sad story..... i pray u ask God for mercy.... sad!!
I really think the Nigerian police and other authorities start using DNA evidences to back up cases such as this. I do think that there is a possibility to his statement. if there is a DNA report, it could have helped in this case. I feel sorry for him tho.
Mehn, this is so painfully, seeing ur own death flashing on ur face. What a nightmere......

Death setenced ought to be abolished in this 22 century. Ladys becareful with the kinda lover yiu chosed. Aggressive man us dangerous for a husband.
That is too harsh,Nigeria!since when did one murder compensate by commitng another

Sad tale this, an eye for an eye.
Kill by the sword,die by the sword.
Fiat Justicia ruat cealum.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA3310
Finally! To all the 'man beater' out there beware and stop maltreating ur wives!! Justice shall prevail. Feel sad for him kinda.
so, what will happen to their daughter?
Thank God,d court did not buy d story d murderer told...wat he did was unspeakable.i was scared he was gonna get away wt it....this is a lesson to all those monsters dat batter their wives.
the finger print shud be investigated before judging him to death
Its a pity. Now to the detriment of the innocent girl. Pls govt assure the upbringing of the girl
I hope he has made peace with God.
Ah thank God justice is served my prayer is that they really carry it out sha
He who lives by the sword...
Heya
FDJ
He that kills by the sword shall die by the sword...that's no lie
So their poor daughter will become an orphan? Tragedy of a life time. Sad Story.
He that kills by the sword shall die by the sword
Chai!! Sentenced to death!! Argh! Oh well, justice must prevail. This should serve as a serious lesson to all those who think they can test their powers on their spouses, male and female inclusive.
Oh thank God for this judgement! this will teach other useless men out there a great lesson. Any man who beats his wife is nothing but a pig!
And the daughter is now an automatic orphan. I wonder when she grows up and asks about her parents and what she would be told.
Serves him right.........Murderer!!! We Ǎ̜̣̍я̲̅ε̲̣̣̣̥ still waiting Fø̲̣̣я̅ ALUU 4 court judgement.
Victory at last
I dont support the death penalty thing. it seems more of an eye for an eye.
Edo state executed some people sometime ago, now its lagos turn.
Moreover, the guy need Psychiatric evaluation
The wages of sin is DEATH! Finally, we can have some rest.
Pele! God knws d best. RIP in advance
To bad
So sad.two wasted lives(one murdered n anoda soon to b killd) n all bcos of uncontrollable anger.
My dear little omo, still remember your tiny little self at Ekpoma, ever the peace maker trying to make everyone around happy. You got justice, God bless your big soul.
Heyah,he destroyed two families. His wife's and his own. Even their daughter will feel the pain now and when she gets older.I don't wish anybody death but justice should be served to teach others a big lesson. We hope ALUU 4 will also get justice. Well done Linda.
Serve him right!
Akolade got what he bargained for, justics must be served
Omg! They shld temper justice with mercy.
Tragic!
Not encouraging his shit, but we wouldn't know what went down then, would we?
Lesson for men that battered there wife's,learn and understand that they are not your slaves so learn from this.May your Soul Rest in peace in Advance.
Serves him rightly. Thank you Linda for that follow up, kudos to the judges...singing in ibo dilates. ta ra ra ra
He's carrying a bible eyaaaaa, that means hes remorseful already, Lord keep his soul
Praise the Lord!!!
Sorry for the poor man
nollywood news and gossip
God will save u out of dis
Since he's been found guilty, he should face the law. Tit for Tat
Why death sentence in dis modern age? If d wife had murdered Kolade, wil Justice lateefat Okunnu pass a death verdict on d wife? I believ he can be a reformed man in jail and subsequently be an advocate against domestic violence. Wil d kid be beta off as an orphan or otherwise? Anyway, RIP to d dead wife. May God comfort her families in grief.
Good judgment there....&y d tears? U killed ur wife &expects 2go free? Naaahhh!
God rest his soul..he who kills wil surely b killd
Really tragic, i pity their young daughter and the psychological problems she would be faced with when she grows up. I hope they keep the kid from the truth until when she will be emotionally stable to take it. Its well
Eyaahhhhh....... Sowie man&may her soul rest in perfect peace...
Good for him stupid guy, u can now settle with ur wife when u get to heaven. LOVETH OKORo
serves him right the devil awaits u bro
Eeyah!so sad God will save u frm dis
Cheiiiii
Its a pity,plz dy shud v mercy n forgv him
What is dis one rapping
Justice finally prevails!
He has to face the law. God help him.
What will then become of the poor child? Too bad
May his soul rest in peace....wife beaters be careful! Anger destroys.
Oh my God! What is going on these days, God help us. Seen
These children make una dey take things easy o. Control your temper in marriages it pays. Had I know is too late when the head is off.
This is really sad o, but that child is now an orphan o. Yes its a sin to kill, but I think they should have improsoned him for some yrs instead of instant death o. I wonder how that child will feel when she's grown up.
My heart bled for this! I don't believ in dead sentence ! What of life time in prison ? Lord have mercy
Big lesson to all. If you are not mentally & emotionaly mature to go near marriage. No man hv right to take another person life.
He must av belonged to a CULT GROUP wen he was in school. Their type are very very heartless nd callous nd they usually luk harmless.
Linda, where's d news about d evidence that was used to close dis case.. Did they find his finger prints on d wife's body, where is d knife he used in killing her.
Sentencing him to death!! What about all d paedophiles they grant bail or is rape not a crime...
may god help us all....@ANNYDONCHRIS
The evil that men do lives with them ...no one has the right to take another's life.He got what he bargained for..
Waiting for justice for my cousin Cynthia osokogu....it might delay but it must surely happen .
The wife's family are so stupid for prosecuting the husband. They should have thought of the lil girl that is going to suffer it
If they knew they were going to hang him, they would av sentenced him since....why prolonging the issue...
What kind of reform are we talking about here,if the wife was ur sister is that the kind of justice u would wish 4 her killer?
The story to te the lil girl when she grows up would be ...'Your dad killed your mom and we pressed charge on your dad and he was killed" Do you think she would be with you (wife's family)
Naaaaaa, I don't buy dis @ all.y tooth 4 tooth. Let God the best judge.
Please they should tamper justice with mercy. Death sentence is too much for him. What happens to Boko Haram? and all them hardened criminals in Nigeria????. Please Linda, help beg Human rights to appeal his sentence and give him something palpable. Prolly life sentence or something else but please not a death sentence. The family has enough to grieve for..
This should serve as a deterrent to other men who have evil running in their veins. Domestic violence is a NO! NO! In dis country. Buh seriously, I don't think killing him will bring back d wife. I would rather they jail him for life. God is d only true judge of us all! It is well
The sad part ws dt..He was a deacon who would come on d altar of God wiv no fear and speak to the church. Lord have mercy
Which mercy abi u wan join him maybe u to bit ur wife u better stop before u see Gods venegenc
Yea, pity the poor girl too.
Justice shud be tempered with Mercy. Akolade is guilty, yes. But death penalty? ♓☺w A̶̲̥̅bou̲̅t their little daughter? Wat becomes ☀f her? Losing both parent is nt funny @ A̶̲̥̅ll. God av mercy on us A̶̲̥̅ll.
I think its fair enough what he got, and please a reminder to all women who are in an abusive relationship either marriage or otherwise. Kindly leave such toxic relationship cos ur life is way more meaningful than being dead.rip titilayo
Serves him right when he comes back to another world he will learn to treat woman right and control is temper
I'm not saying they shouldn't sentence him to death o,but who will take care of his daughter?'That is why one shouldn't tolerate an abusive relationship,lives might be lost in the process....This is a perfect example!What anger can cause ehn,'Lord have mercy!
HOW CAN HE CLAIM SHE MURDERED HERSELF AND WHO HEARD YOUR SHOUT FOR HELP, INSTAED YOU JUMPED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND STARTED RUNNING, FRUSTRATED THIEF, YOU MARRIED HER FOR UR POCKET, WHEN SHE REALIZED AND DECIDED TO BE HIDING HER MONEY, YOU GOT ANGRY AND MURDERED HER, LAZY IMBECILE.GOOD FOR U!!!!!!
Dear anonymous 2:28 it evident that you are a man who is a wife beater, read the story of this lady, d guy had been beating her mercilessly until dat Faithfull day and Linda he didn't stab her he used a machet on her two different things.
Chai I wish they never got married,this must be an evil manupulation.but they would have jailed him. I really pity the little girl
Good radiance to bad rubbish...i feel for the little girl
A LIFE IMPRISONMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR THE CHILD'S SAKE #myopinion.....the poor little girl is an orphan now...
Well only God knws wt realy apend on dt day bt if he hasn't bin beating her prior, she wudnt av ad a reason to go get a knife which I believe is 4 self defence. He myt nt plan to kill her wen de started fighting bt dts wt anger does, it takes control of u till u'v done smtin u'l forever regret. Imagine d pritorious guy who also murdered his gfriend. Its nt a must u stay in a violent relationship, its nt a do or die afffair bt sm pple wnt listen. A dude once slapped me cos I went out, trust me, dt ws d last time I saw him. Its ur choice, we shdnt say cos we're in love we av to be stupid....the only person I feel 4 is dia young daughter. May God help us all.
Its patheti. parents created a sad history 4 d growing up child
I cry for the child... This is a big lesson to all those out there that can`t control their anger. Be wise..... Pray for God`s help and look for books that will assist you. Ciao
Domestic voilence, one of the major problem of our society today. Its a pity Titilayo lost her life to it. But I think our legal system can do better. Life imprisonment without a possiblity of Parole if there is anything like that in Nigeria. Their daughter I hear lives with Titi's parent but I wish Kolade could be allowed to live to regret what he has done to her n himself instead of the dealth sentence. RIP TITI
OMG!.... And what's the lil gurl's fate??? She's gonna be an orphan?? The judge shuld have sentenced him to life imprisonment. #justsaying...
Those who live by d sword will die by d sword,I pity their daughter both parents gone...........#lesson........stay outta trouble#sadtho
Omg..not death sentence please....atleast for their daughter's sake atleast life in prison is enough punishment.....now that little girl has been made an orphan, poor girl her dad cldn't control his temper.
Wow wat a tragic!!!an action dt took few seconds an action nw wen thinking bak he wld av avoided!if he had walked away ds won't b happening!Anger is a great enemy to Mankind!do nt let it tak Control...its nt worth risking ur life over...jst learn to Walk away it doesn't mk u a lesser person.
One thing is d family didn't want d union in d first place. Even after her death dey made a lot of comments n dey said he too must die. Dis Naija where tins re don d other way round. A lot have killed n yet no death sentence. Some in jail n some walking on d street. Am nt supporting him but truth b told something can still b done. His Lawyer should make an appeal again.
Good judgment. Teaches other useless men lessons
Amen
Hmmmmmm
Dis world sef
It serves him right...I hope that when he gets to hell he gets killed all over again. Speaking has a victim of domestic violence it starts with verbal abuse. I will be asking this ahole what he wants for dinner and he will flip out for no reason at all and start calling me names...a lot of emotional/physical abuse went on until he went too far and hit me.
The day any man hits you ladies please leave him. He is not worth it later he will blame it on the devil.
U r very stupid 4 saying dat! Jst shut ur fuckin mouth if u dnt knw wat 2 say... Do u fink its easy? Ode oshi!
Hmmmmmm
Three big amen to his death..*Amen,Amen,Amen.*
Exactly... the fool that use to abuse me was a cult guy. He looks so harmless. Only God knows what else he has done during his cult days that he is paying for now. Some of those guys never grow up and leave all those shit behind.
I feel sorry for their daughter but how is this the wife's family's fault? When he continuously battered his wife and then went ahead to kill her, he certainly dint think of his daughters future or his. He deserved every single bit of that judgement after all we all know that the penalty for murder is death. He was sure hoping to get out of it now that's why he had the guts to kill. Keep Your anger in check, people won't learn. Now he has managed to destroy his wife's future, his future and certainly tampered with that of his daughter
I cry for the child... This is a big lesson to all those out there that can`t control their anger. Be wise..... Pray for God`s help and look for books that will assist you. Ciao
True...no man has the right to put his hands on a woman. Only a man that has no mother/sister will do that rubbish.
This Badoo of Ajegunle is realy a very silly and stupid person. I always detest and hate your comments on this blog. How I wish it was your sister that was murdered in cold blood by her husband. Idiot booda ode!
I still dont believes a man will want to fight his wife and brings out knife. it is the woman that would have done that.

February 21, 2014 at 2:50 PM....You are a big IDIOT for your statement...Let your sister's husband murder her in cold blood and lemme see if you'd still spill this rubbish! EWU!
I just feeling sorry for their daughter sha,who will now be an orphan.
Serves him right
say no to domestic violence
Das serves him ryt. May ha soul RIP
Hmmm wt an end, one shd always b slow to anger. Jst c whr it has led him.
I feel sorry 4 dia duta, she will grow up nt knwin her biological parents
Good 4 him... Men dat batter and murder their wives will surely suffer d same fate ..
Badoo of toronto!! Did u go to school atall, now lemme inform you! It is the state that prosecute offenders in criminal matters, not the victims! So the family has nothing to d with him been sentenced to death, even if they plead on his behalf, nothing will be done, the state will still prosecute him.
If it was ur sister he killed am sure u wnt say wat u r sayin now
Anon 3:32PM, pls dnt waste ur anwering ds irresponsible Badoo of Toronto. Have u not noticed that his comments are always stupid n outta place, stupid thing, I wish it was ur sister, than lemme see if u would have sang with ds same tune. Ode oshi, Ewu gambia.
Only cowards and insecure men abuse women!
We need more judgements like this to make barbarians like him think twice before acting
Feeling for the daughter
Hmmmm...I'm short of talk
@badoo,u are obviously a child or an unenlightened adult. The state prosecute murder not the family. I don't understand the way people think,someone murdered another person in cold blood and some people say he should go free? Wonders shall never end. Y did he not consider his daughter when he was battering his wife and eventually killing her? I hope u will fell this way if ur sister or daughter is murdered in such a gruesome and painful manner. Dull brain!
In case like dis dat no body saw him while commiting the act I think he would have been sentence to life imprisonment.
Do not judge so dat ye will not be judge, god alone knows d truth if dis man really stabbed his wife, may d lord open d gate of heaven unto u dis day. I feel sorry for d little child.
eyah...i feel bad 4 kolade... Wot if he was right...i followed d story on punch...may titilayo soul rest in perfect peace...and as 4 'john cina'husbandz ur time dey cum o...
Death sentence! Gosh i felt so pity for d little girl. Rip in advance man.
*adefunke*
God be praised !!
God be praised !!
@Badoo, are you human. If he raises his child you think she would look at him and say oh my dear father that stabbed my mother to death, let us live together in peace. This is why in Naija we are deceived by all sorts. People say o it was the hand of satan or I did not do it intentionally. We have absolutely no sense of repercussion. As a man, I do not expect more from you. Cause in your mind, you are still thinking she must have provoked him. All you closet bullies, that only show your silly strength when it has to do with your helpless wives. Take your bullying outside na to a person that will match your mouth. Naija women check the men you marry, if they are lax towards domestic violence...you better be ready for blows and punches.
This is just not a good judgmnt ,I think our judges nd justicee ,have 2 learn more about criminal mind , psychological and behavioral attitude,death sentence is nt d end justice....was dere any evidence !!!,dna,forensic dept..my Goddddddd!!!! If man was God ,people would perish evry seconds.....oh death wia is thy sting!oh grave wia is thy glory ??
Hmmmmm God
Kindly work out of the relationship peacefully instead of fight,this is the end. Poor child.
You are a bloody fool.Idiot,fool fool,If someone stabs your sister 79 times and she died would you let that person go free? Would you? Most men these days are fools.I'm sure you would do worse if given the chance. Idiot
Looking at the previous story, and all the comments, Bonario has really come a long way o, only that bloglord now comments on stella dimokorkus alone..,unfortunately, me I don't have the strength to comment on every post again, but Linda well done...unfortunately Akolade has to go tho, when I first read the story I tot to myself, he was a provoked man, the wife probably brought the knife to kill him, but the situation that led to this men should learn not to hit their wives.
Shut up.
As bad as it looks, dats still d best judgment... On no account shuld he av allowd his temper take over him dat much... RIP in adv Mr Arowolo
You're just so daft! No common sense at all! Do you think the child would be happy when she grows up & finds out that the same father who was allowed to live freely, probably then married to someone else who very likely would maltreat her, is the same man that denied her of experiencing her mother's love? Or if you get married and you wife kills you, would your family members allow her go scot-free just because you both had a child? I think not! The little girl will not suffer any less if the man was not prosecuted, she would suffer even more. Her snatched her mother away from her for crying out loud!....in a violent and heartless way for that matter. ....Me
Man ur own no gud oooo... Lmao
U people say that death sentence for him is not good assuming the lady that was killed is the one paying her younger sibling school fees nd taking care of her parent nko..
RIP in advance....... Is even better u knw u ll die, so dat u can mk ammends with God. RIP once again
If †ђξ man was Ūя̲̅ broda, wud u av wished him †ђξ death penalty???
I'm sorry I believe in justice for all but I don't in believe the death sentence (especially in a developing country). Nothing changes the woman is still dead, if you've lost someone you'll understand that nothing can bring back that life back. Their daughter is now an orphan. is that really justice?
I still find it extremely difficult to comprehend why any man would lift his hands against a woman,not to talk of stabbing one's wife to death. It really is beyond comprehension
He can appeal d sentence
Umunwoke next time kill ur wife u too will be sentenced to death.. better pay attention
I can't believe some people here are talking nonsense. If someone stabs your daughter 76 times come and talk to us about 'reformation' or 'human rights'. Trash.
Strictly based on the evidence, before the court along with the plea of the defendant, it was wrong to sentence him to death. A murder sentence can only be carried out if the case can be proven beyond reasonable doubt. The basis for conviction even according to the judge is circumstantial and highly so. No forensic evidence was examined behind the evidence of the forensic pathologist who perhaps confirmed the obvious ie she was stabbed. Countries like the united states of America with a more developed better trained and relatively honest police force is replete with a history of wrongful convictions especially death sentences which were eventually overturned when new evidence is brought to light. The cases usually look airtight initially necessitating the sentencing but when evidence is based on circumstantial facts and cannot be proven beyond reasonable doubt, hmmmm the death sentence is a place from which you can never return. An injustice that the land must pay an untold price. Nigeria is still reeling from such. The following urls will elucidate my position better. www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/innocence-and-death-penalty. www.deathpenalty.org/article.php?id=407. www.amnestyusa.org/our-work/issues/death-penalty/us-death-penalty-facts/death-penalty-and-innocence. Boluvet.
His right...were you there when it happened.....anyway RIP in advance
Lessons to men beating their wife may soul rest in peace.kolade soul rest in peace in advance husbands stop treating your wife like a slave. Hmmmmm
This is exactly how the devil operates... 'The devil comes to steal, to kill and to destroy' see hw he finally destroy this family.. Nxt on his line now wud be d daughter... I pray God keep her safe. Amen
deserved judgemnet, I pity Their daugher
He might jst be saying d truth, but I guess his words can't hold water,...
May he Rot in hell.... I pity dere child, poor gurl.
