The police in Ogun State have arrested a 47-year-old man, Gbenga Ogunfolabo, for allegedly stabbing his wife, Bosede, to death.
PUNCH Metro learnt that Gbenga
was nabbed on Monday by detectives attached to the Ishara Police
Division in the Remo North Local Government Area of the state, for
stabbing Bosede with a broken bottle during a fight.
The Police Public Relations Officer in
the state, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, said the incident occurred on Wednesday,
July 16, but was not reported to the police as the families concerned
wanted to sweep the matter under the carpet.
He said, “Pressure was mounted on the
deceased’s family by the family of the suspect, but one of the relations
of the deceased decided to report the matter to the police which led to
the arrest of the suspect.”
Adejobi, added that the husband, a
farmer, had been maltreating the deceased ─ a petty trader ─ before he
eventually stabbed her to death.
“The Commissioner of police, Mr.
Ikemefuna Okoye, has directed that the matter be transferred to the
Department of Criminal Investigation Eleweran, Abeokuta for
investigation,” the PPRO said.
