45-Year-Old Man Beats His Wife To Death Over School Building | READ DETAILS
One Mr Segun Omotosho Ebenezer, aged 45, has been arrested by operatives of the Ogun State police command for beating his 42-year old wife, Omotosho Bukola to death.
A statement released by SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, the state police Public Relations Officer said Ebenezer who fled after the sister of the deceased filed a report at Kemta divisional headquarters on November 14, was arrested on Sunday, November 20, 2022.
Trouble started when Ebenezer, a carpenter by profession demanded control of a private school the wife constructed in their name. He beat her up and leaving her with injuries.
The statement added that;
“The deceased was rushed to Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba Abeokuta, by the suspect for medical attention, but passed away while receiving treatment. Unknown to the husband, the deceased had sent a voice note to her family member, informing them that her husband has used a padlock to hit her on the head while beating her, and that if she died, they should be aware that it was her him that killed her.
As soon as the voice note was played to his hearing, the husband took to his heels having realized that his evil deed had been exposed. Upon the report and the recording evidence, the DPO Kemta division, detailed his detectives to go after the killer husband and fish him out from hideout. He was subsequently traced to to Akinseku village in Abeokuta where he has been hibernating, and was promptly apprehended.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that their incessant quarrel was because the deceased built a private school in the name of herself and the husband, but the husband who is a carpenter had wanted to take control of the school which the deceased wife, a graduate, refused. This was the reason why the suspect had been beating the deceased, until the fateful day when he used iron padlock to hit her on the head, which eventually led to her untimely death.
“Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Bankole, has directed the suspect be transferred to the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and diligent prosecution.”
