A jilted man, Abiodun Atinuke, has been arrested and charged before Ijeshatedo Magistrates? Court sitting in Lagos State, western Nigeria, for allegedly hiring assassins to kill his ex-wife.

Angered by her action, Atinuke allegedly took suspected assassins to 15, Ogunmokun Street, Mushin, Lagos, where Eniola lives after she left his house and asked them to kill her.

When he was arraigned, he pleaded not guilty.
The presiding magistrate, Mrs. Abegunde Davis, granted him bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum.
