Douglas Ajemine, a 41-year-old mother of four, who allegedly killed her 40-year-old husband, Inedugoba Tyger, has been arrested by the operatives of the Inspector-General of Police Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT, in Abalama, Asari Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State.
        The Commander of the IGP Monitoring Intelligence Unit, SP Martins told the press on Tuesday that Ajamine confessed to killing Inedugoba Tyger and burying his corpse in a shallow grave within the area. According to the police, she committed the crime because her late husband abandoned her for another woman. Ajemine, who is a staff of the Rivers State Primary Health Care in the State named her accomplice as one Kingsley Nna. She was arrested following a petition to the police by Tyger’s relations, who gave graphic details of how the Buguma native got missing after a political event within the community. According to  Inedugoba Tyger's younger brother, Oris Peters, he said he was murdered in cold blood and buried by his wife [Ajemine]. Charles and his wife had a little issue and weren’t in good terms for weeks. One fateful night, in the early hours of January 25, 2019, the wife called him to come over to Abalama where both of them were residing before the quagmire. She also told him to buy suya when coming. With the excitement that his wife had finally called him after much effort to settle with her proved abortive, he quickly bought the suya and left for Abalama where she works. Meanwhile, he told his friends where he was going. Till that moment he left for Abalama till now, Charles has not been seen.
        The wife, after being on the run for months was finally arrested by SARS as she confessed that she killed him and buried him behind her apartment in Abalama. They then took his corpse to the back of the house and dug a shallow grave where they buried his remains. Ajemine and her accomplice, Kingsley Nna are now cooling their heels at the Special Intelligence Response Team, IRT. In her earlier confession, Ajemine said, “I met my husband, Inedugoba Charles Tyger, in December 2014, and we got married the following year. My husband had two children before I married him and he pleaded that he needed me to help him take care of his children. He told me that his two children were out of school because there was no woman to look after them and he was equally not residing in Port Harcourt. I accepted, and I moved into his house and I started taking care of his children. My husband worked with Elf Oil and Gas and he had a court case with his company and at a point, he couldn’t pay his house rent because it was increased by his landlord. By January 2016, he was sacked from his job and we relocated to our village in Buguma and his children were all staying in my house. In April 2016, my husband got some money from his former company and went to my family and paid my bride price. We then relocated to his family house and since he had no job, he became so aggressive and abusive. He was always shouting when he shouldn’t and he would hit me when he shouldn't. I then advised him to look for a job and he went into illegal oil bunkering and was also looking for a white-collar job. We later moved out of his family house and relocated to Port Harcourt. I have a store in the community and he did not appreciate what i was doing for him. Last April my son and her daughter sat for university matriculation examination and my son passed but his daughter failed and we agreed to buy a pre-degree form but he stopped responding to our demands.
        I took his daughter to the Port Harcourt house to see him and we discovered that a woman was living with him. I took the girl’s clothes to his family and my husband came to remove his clothes while the girl(her husband’s girlfriend) burnt all my clothes in my husband’s house. Later, he started coming to the house to carry things to sell and he would beat me up. I later moved out of that house in Abalama and moved to Port Harcourt and he consulted a native doctor to give him charms to kill me. He didn’t know where I was staying but he called asking for a metal ladder that was in my care in January 2019. And when he came, he wanted to have sex with me at the passage in the house at Abalama but I had met one Kingsley at Egbelu area of Port Harcourt, where I rented an apartment and I told him that I was new and my husband could come anytime and harass me, Kingsley promised to assist me. On the day he came to collect the ladder he wanted to have sex with me and I refused and he tore my cloths. Fortunately, I ran out and called Kingsley crying on the phone and he came and started beating my husband. When I couldn’t bear it, I went outside and when I came in I asked about my husband and they told me that he was dead and warned me that if I told anyone, they will kill me and my children. They said if I let anyone know that they were the people that killed my husband they would kill me. They took my husband to a Sandfiled close near our house and buried him. I didn’t follow them to the exact spot where my husband was buried.’’
        In his confession, Kingsley Nnaa said Ajemine paid him and his friend the sum of N100,000 to kill her husband and that he also had sex with her severally. Nna said:“ In December 2018, I met a woman known as Ajemina, at Egbelu Odara Junction in Ogbogoro town and I was with one of my friends known as Sunny and the woman told us that her husband was maltreating her. I told her whenever the man called that she should call us or she should shout for help from people in the community. Later on, she called again and said that she wanted us to beat the man, I asked her how we were going to see the man and beat him and she said that the man used to come to her house in Ogbogoro and he also used to come to her own house in Abalama to beat her. In January 2019, she gave us N50,000 and said she would call us whenever the man was with her. On January 26, she called again in the afternoon and she said that the man was coming and we should come and beat the man. When we got there we met the woman and her husband naked and it was like they had just finished making love. The room was dark and the woman flashed a touch at us and we found the man in bed and Sunny (my partner) wrapped the man’s face with a wrapper and a pillow, then I started beating the man and he woke up and started struggling and he was shouting and the man removed what Sunny tied on his face and the man saw Sunny and recognized him and they started speaking their Kalabari language. I didn’t know what they were talking about, but Sunny said we should kill the man since he had seen his face and I held the man and Sunny strangled the man. We called the woman who was outside when this happened and told her that the man was dead and she told us that she didn’t tell us to kill the man but she went and brought a shovel for us and showed us a space where we should bury the man. The next day which was Sunday the woman called us again and gave us N30,000 and by evening of that day she called me and said she wanted me to make love to her and when I met her in a hotel we made love for two hours. One week later, we met again in that same hotel in Egelu Town in Ogbogoru community and we made love again. We also made love for the third time, but I stopped responding to her calls because she wanted to turn me to her husband. Since that day I killed that man I have not been myself. I have gone to church to pray for forgiveness and now they have arrested me. I believe God has forgiven me. SP Martins, while confirming the incident to, said that Ajemine confessed to the crime. He said that “The woman was arrested last month and she took the police to the shallow grave where she buried her husband.” He added that they have arrested her accomplice, Kingsley Nna. We are wrapping up and investigations and the suspects will be charged to court soon.”
