The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Gbenga Ogunfolabo in
Ishara, Remo North Local Government Area of the state for allegedly
stabbing his wife, 45-year-old Bosede, to death with a broken bottle.
A statement by the Police Public Relations Officer in the state,
Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Tuesday, alleged that the suspect, a 47-year-old
farmer stabbed Bosede to death during a fight between the couple on
Wednesday last week but the incident was not reported to the police as a
result of family pressure. Bose, a mother of eight, who lost two of
them due to sickness, was said to have been constantly
maltreated and abused by her husband, a peasant farmer. Fortunately,
one of her relations (name withheld) decided to report the matter to the
police for thorough investigation before the suspected killer husband
was arrested.
“The Commissioner of Police in Ogun State, Ikemefuna Okoye, has directed
that the matter be transferred to the Department of Criminal
Investigation Eleweran, Abeokuta, for discreet investigation. He has
advised the general public to always report cases of this nature or any
other crimes to the police to have records or statistics of crimes
committed in the state and to allow justice to take its course,” the
police spokesman said.
