The guys had also escaped with her husband's Land Rover jeep.
The Prosecutor, Insp. Julius Babatope, told the court that 32yrs old Oluchi contracted Nworie and Ofelete to assassinate her husband on October 9 at No. 18, Fatai Kofo St., Agungi, Lekki.
He said, “The accused made away with the victim’s Land Rover jeep with Reg. No. LND 275 DZ after hacking the complainant and pouring acid on him. The victim’s HP laptop, iPhone, car documents and other valuables estimated at N9.3 million were also taken away by the accused.
Oluchi had informed the two accused on where she had hidden machete, cutlass and acid in her husband’s compound which they were to use in eliminating him.”
Babatope said that Nworie and Ofelete were arrested with the victim’s blood-stained Range Rover on their way to deliver the car to Oluch's brother in Anambra.
The trio are facing a three-count bordering on conspiracy, robbery and attempted murder.
NAN reports that the accused plea was not taken.
