Ada Esther Johnson, AKA Ada Ocha Ntu pictured above with her lover, Mark Hall, whom she murdered in 1953 after founding out he'd used the 400pounds she loaned him for business, to go to England and marry an English bride. History has it that, Mark used part of Ada's money tobuy his new bride a car which she would use to start a transport business in the UK.
He returned to Nigeria and told Ada what he'd done with her money and a very furious Ada stabed her lover with a pair of siccores, Mark eventually died from injuries sustained from the attack.
Ada was tried and convicted in 1956 and was placed on death row at Broad Street Prison in Lagos. She was however pardoned by former head of state Chief Nnamdi Azikiwe, who changed her death sentence to life imprisonment in 1961.
