We are dismayed to learn of the gruesome murder case involving a wife, Mrs. Yewande Oyediran who allegedly killed her husband, Mr. Oyelowo Oyediran during one instance of domestic argument involving both of them. It is indeed very saddening that the argument only ended up with termination of a life - a life! No subject of argument is worth taking the life of another for. No, murder is no acceptable
response in a disagreement! Women Arise, as a human rights organization, we feel this case throws up a disturbing depiction of the female gender and therefore want to call for justice.
In Nigeria, as well as other countries of the
world, murder is a grievous crime and is
punishable by law. The law must take its
course in this case. We applaud the matter is
now in court we have therefore begun to
monitor it.
Although there are insinuations that the alleged
perpetrator would be treated with preferences
and justice could be hindered due to her
profession as a lawyer, as a matter of
professional solidarity. We, however, trust that
this insinuation cannot be true and want to
dismiss it as what it is –insinuation. The best
solidarity is the one for justice. If utmost
solidarity was betrayed by a wife in a
matrimonial union, such that she arbitrarily
terminated the life of her husband according to
the allegation, such could literally not value and
therefore should not be accorded solidarity of
profession.
We call on all reasonable and well meaning
lawyers to only take sides with objectivity and
justice. As humans, every of our actions today
are making a draft of history for tomorrow. I
believe every lawyer would rather be on the
good side of history by supporting justice.
Sentiments would certainly deny justice and
empower impunity, but this is a rather symbolic
case and is strongly sensitive to allow such
emotions come to the surface. It is readily too
open and its outcome will make a strong
statement on all of us; the judiciary; the bar
and the rest of us in the society. This is a
crucial time to call a spade by its proper name
and avoid whipping up any sentiments. Any
outcome to the contrary of justice would be
very dangerous to humanity and highly indicting
of our society. We can't afford to put justice to
death; our society will totally falter if this
happens.
We are against discriminations as what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander!
Because crime is not gender peculiar, justice
cannot be discriminatory or partial. We do not
only stand for women when injustice is
perpetrated against the gender, we stand for
justice for all humans. Justice is justice for all,
male and female alike.
We take this moment to condole the family and
relatives of the deceased husband, Late
Oyelowo Oyediran. We mourn with you as his
death is so unnatural due to the evident
contextual violence wrapping it.
Domestic violence is on a shocking increase,
and this case #Justice4Lowo is testament case
to this effect.
We implore couples to always take things easy
with each other, especially during heated
arguments. Moment arguments begin to evoke
strong emotions; they also begin to assume
dangerous dimensions.
Violence kills, but can be avoided. It is not
about who speaks the loudest or acts the most,
but about who maturely keeps quiet for the
other and lets their maturity handle the
situation. This recipe is not only for the male to
be the one acting mature, but both. Mature
acting saves the violence, and ultimately saves
the lives.
We speak strongly against Domestic Violence
and urge everyone to desist from it. We demand
proper investigation in this case and ask that
justice be done to make an example of
deterrence. We know that this type of violence
resulting in murder happens severally but are
not reported or taken up for justice. This is
however an example case that we must make a
lesson out of.
So, we say #Justice4Lowo!
