In the narrative, Atinuke said she discovered that her husband, Abiodun Odeleye, was having extra-marital affairs with Yemisi, the policewoman, sometime in March 2019 after she saw text messages they  exchanged with each other on his phone.

According to Atinuke, she said she called Yemisi on the phone and warned her to leave her husband, Abiodun, but she ignored her warning.

"She started threatening me on the phone , i went to report her at the Igando Police Station on Saturday, September 7. I gave them a picture she and my husband took together. When they called her on the phone, she said she was on duty and promised to come to the station later. I learnt she later went there and told them that she was pregnant for my husband.

"In the evening, she came to my house with a bottle and threatened to kill me. I went back to the police station to report her, but they did not do anything. On Tuesday evening around 10pm, she came to my house again to attack me. She hit me on the forehead with an object and destroyed my phone. I didn't bother to report the assault to the police because they did not act on my complain", she stated.

But Yemisi who spoke to Punch correspondent on Friday, refuted Atinuke's allegations against her claiming that she is Abiodun's "second wife."

Yemisi who is in herlate 30s, also denied attacking Atinuke, adding that the woman came to attack her at Abiodun's brother's house in Igando.

"Her husband married me as his second wife and i know his family. We have done introduction and am pregnant for him. Why would i break something on her head? There was a day a relation of our husband called both of us to settle our differences. She slapped me three times there. I didn't do anything so people would not say am using my position as a police officer to cheat her.

"That Tuesday evening. I visited our husband's elder brother around Igando and Yemisi met me there. She wanted to tear my clothes. I didn't do anything because am not supposed to fight in public. I was surprised when she said i injured her. Maybe she used something to injured herself to blackmail me. Anywhere she sees me, she wants to fight me but I always avoid her. I didn't destroy her phone", she said.

But according to Abiodun, he claimed that Yemisi is  his girlfriend not his wife and that she is not pregnant for him. Abiodun also said that Yemisi visited him at a shop within his vicinity when his wife saw her, there was a fight when his wife wanted to snap them and in the process something hit her head. He said they should look for a way to settle the matter peacefully.
