“As a matter of fact, I never met or knew his wife, but Caleb was a known person, in fact, whoever is close to Court Premises @ Fajuyi park area in Ado -Ekiti would surely know him. He was one of the Police Prosecutors that were always focused on their duties there.
“He was such a brave and courageous man that I love attending Court Proceedings where he was the Prosecutor until there was a Restructuring within Police system that led to his transfer to Oye-Ekiti.
“Through another his very close friend who is also a Prosecutor, I learned that Officer Caleb had issue of Infidelity with his wife and as a Police officer, he started monitoring his wife until she was caught red handed which angered him and led to the arrest of his wife’s Concubine, but at the Police Station, Officer Caleb was told to work on his wife instead of arresting her man’s friend.
“Both went home, but the marriage wasn’t the same since then. It had been one issue after the other since the arrest was made early January this year.
However, it was further learned that the wife might drugged Caleb’s food which weakened him that gave his wife the Chance to remove his manhood. Like Samson’s last Strength, Caleb later received the last courage and power to retaliate.
According to the source, he died in the pool of his blood while his wife was rushed to ABUAD, there she was confirmed dead, and both were deposited in the Mortuary.”
