Ogun State Police Command has arrested a man, Segun Ebenezer, for allegedly beating his wife, Omotosho Olubukola, to death.
Spokesperson of the Command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who disclosed this on Monday in Abeokuta, the state capital, said the arrest of the suspect followed a complaint lodged at Kemta divisional headquarters on the November 14, 2022, by the elder sister of the deceased.
Oyeyemi explained that the deceased’s elder sister said Omotosho was beaten and seriously injured by her husband over a minor disagreement.
The complainant, Oyeyemi added, said that her sister was subsequently rushed to Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba Abeokuta by the suspect, but gave up the ghost while receiving treatment.

Unknown to the man, 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 know that it was her husband 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,” Oyeyemi said.
The Ogun police spokesperson added that the DPO of Kemta division, CSP Adeniyi Adekunle, detailed his detectives to go after the 45-year-old man.
Mr Ebenezer was subsequently traced to Akinseku village, Abeokuta where he was apprehended.
The Ogun police spokesperson said preliminary investigation revealed that their incessant quarrel was because the man’s wife built a private school and refused to give her husband control over it.
