Youth Pastor of Celestial Church of Christ, Shomolu parish, Paul Olafare caused confusion among his family and church members after he committed suicide in the early hours of Sunday, 12th of April at his residence.
According to a neighbour and close friend of the deceased, who asked for anonymity, Olafare drank poison in two separate gulps and lay on the bed. His wife, Busayo, was in the bathroom having her shower ahead of the usual family preparation for church. She returned to their bedroom only to find her husband writhing in painful contortions.
“Sister Busayo said she shouted at him in panic, asking him WHY HAVE YOU DONE THIS, PAUL?” the family friend told HAMILTONSTYLE. “She said Bro. Paul only looked at her in pain and said, I AM SORRY. IT IS TOO LATE! He then drank the remaining poison – a high grade, unadulterated pesticide.”
Unfortunately, the parents of the deceased, who have been at loggerheads with Mrs. Busayo Olafare and didn’t approve of their son’s marriage to her, lodged a murder charge against her and got Oworonshoki policemen to arrest her and transfer the case to State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti in Ebute Metta, Lagos.

Why would she kill her husband knowing he's in serious debt, Was it to make the creditors come after her? It doesn't make sense, she's smart enough to know that will be the next line of action if he dies. Except there is life insurance which doesn't work in Nigeria.
