Ogun Man Nabbed For Beating Wife To Death

A 45-year-old man, Segun Omotosho Ebenezer, has been arrested by the Ogun Police Command for beating his wife, Omotosho Olubukola to death.

LEADERSHIP gathered the suspect was arrested by the police on Sunday following a complaint lodged at Kemta divisional headquarters on the 14th of November 2022, by the elder sister of the deceased, who reported that the deceased was beaten and seriously injured by her husband over a minor disagreement.

The command’s spokesman, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said the deceased was subsequently rushed to Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba Abeokuta, by the suspect for medical attention, but gave up the ghost while receiving treatment.

“Unknown to the husband, the deceased had sent a voice note to her family members, informing them that her husband had 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 husband who 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,” Oyeyemi said in a statement on Monday.
