The police said that Olanrewaju’s 15-year-old son, Ayomide,
narrated that his mother had a misunderstanding with his father and a fight
ensued between them.
The police in Ogun State have arrested one Bamidele
Olanrewaju for beating his wife and stabbing her to death with a screwdriver.
Spokesperson for the command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, said
Olanrewaju was reported to the police by his neighbours when he attempted to
bury his wife in a secret grave he dug at the back of their apartment in
Bisodun Village under Obafemi-Owode Local Government Area.
The police said that Olanrewaju’s 15-year-old son, Ayomide,
narrated that his mother had a misunderstanding with his father and a fight
ensued between them.
The suspect was alleged to have used a big stick to beat his
wife into a coma and thereafter proceeded to stabbing her in the head with a
screwdriver, resulting in her death.
Oyeyemi said, “On the strength of the report, the
officer-in-charge of the Ofada police post, Akinfolahan Oluseye, led his men to
the scene at Bisodun Village where the suspect, who had been held down by the
people of the community, was handed over to the police.
“Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect was
fond of beating his wife. This time, after beating the woman to death, he was
about to bury her secretly when the deceased’s children, who saw him digging a
grave by the side of his house, alerted their neighbours who rushed to the
scene and held him down before the arrival of the police.”
