Reports suggest the couple had been having disagreements which led to them living apart.

Olaribigbe had reportedly attempted to resolve the conflict before their separation.

The suspect is alleged to have attacked and killed the clergyman after encountering him at his wife’s residence in the early hours of Thursday.

“We were informed that the pastor was at the woman’s house today (Thursday) when the husband arrived. We were also told that the husband stabbed the pastor,” Opalola said.

The deceased was reportedly on the bed of the aggressor’s wife when the incident occurred.

“The husband stabbed him several times, and he died. It is believed the husband acted on suspicion that the pastor was having an affair with his wife,” the spokesperson added.

In a statement, Opalola said the incident occurred on January 1.

“Osun State Police Command has arrested a 43-year-old man, Wale Ogunsanmi, in connection with the murder of his church pastor, Shina Olaribigbe, 52,” the statement reads.

Police officers from the Dugbe Division responded promptly to the scene, arrested the suspect, and recovered the exhibit.

“The corpse has been deposited at the UNIOSUN Teaching Hospital Mortuary for autopsy.

The 60-year-old also emphasised that divorce is a challenging experience for any family and expressed her hope that her story might offer some insight.

“It was important because if I am going to be my most authentic self. People knew I had gone through it,” she said.

“And it is hard on any family, so I write from my perspective. But it’s not something I would wish on anybody — and unfortunately so many families go through it.

“It is a big transition. And for me, while it was painful for sure, I ended up learning some lessons and there was some growth in there, too.”

Bill and Melinda first met in 1987, when she became a product manager at Microsoft. They married in Hawaii in 1994 and founded the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to combating global poverty and disease — in 2000.

Following their divorce, Melinda resigned from the foundation in May 2024.

The former couple shares three children: son Rory, 25, and daughters Phoebe, 22, and Jennifer, 28.

In January, Bill described his divorce from Melinda as his “biggest regret in life”.
