The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 40 year-old man, Kingsley Madukwe, for allegedly beating his wife, Glory Madukwe, to death.
Kingsley allegedly slapped his 40-year-old wife, a mother of eight, who had a month-old baby over her alleged refusal to breastfeed the crying baby.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed that, the suspect, a motorcycle rider was said to have been enraged when his late wife abandoned the crying baby.
He reportedly drew her back while she was leaving the bedroom for the living room and slapped her.
The slap, according to the PPRO, turned deadly as his wife who had complained of tiredness reportedly slumped and died on the spot.
Oyeyemi said the suspect was arrested on Wednesday following a report by one Chief Rafiu Gbadamosi, the Baale of Egando in Atan-Ota, that the couple had a minor misunderstanding as a result of which the husband beat the wife to death at about 11:30pm.
Oyeyemi said, “On the strength of the report, the DPO, Atan Ota Division, SP Salau Abiodun, led his detectives to the scene where the suspect was promptly arrested.
“The corpse of the victim has been deposited at the General Hospital Ota mortuary for postmortem.”
The PPRO said the Commissioner of Police, Bashir Makama, had ordered the immediate transfer of the suspect to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation and prosecution.
