The 51-year-old Lekan Shonde, who allegedly killed his wife at their home in the Egbeda-Idimu area of Lagos State a few days ago, had mentioned that his wife was having an affair with her boss, Kayode, at the publishing company where she worked as the human resources manager. However, the man accused of dating late Ronke Shonde, Kayode, has denied the allegation, saying he only had a professional relationship with the deceased.
According to the reports, Kayode and Ronke’s brother, Jide, who died in a ghastly motor accident in July 2015, were friends.
After the death of Jide, Kayode, who was working in Ibadan, Oyo State, was said to have been transferred to Lagos by his company.
While in Lagos, he was said to have struck a friendship with Ronke because of her late brother and due to Ronke’s influence in the publishing company owned by her uncle, Kayode was said to have joined the publishing firm and was made the general manager.
Their friendship and the managerial positions were said to have made it possible for them to always travel and go out together and was also said to have become close to Ronke’s uncle, who owned the firm.
It was learnt that both Kayode and Ronke had travelled to recruit new workers for the Abuja office, when the allegation of sleeping together was levelled against them.
