A middle-aged man is on the
run after allegedly beating his
wife to death. The 42-year-old
victim, named Mujidat, was
carrying a four-month pregnancy when the
tragedy occurred.
The suspect (name is not disclosed)
committed the murder in Apata area of
Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, last week. It
was learnt that the victim challenged her
husband to explain the reason he was
having a love affair with another woman.
She was said to have caught the husband
with the woman in his car.
According to a police source, a hot
argument ensued, leading to a fight
between the couple. Mujidat reportedly
died
during the fight.
Mrs. Olabisi Ilobanafor, the Deputy
Superintendent (DSP) and police
spokesperson, said the case was reported
at
the Apata Police Division by the deceased's
father, Pa Rufus Tijani, who accused the
suspect of killing his pregnant daughter.
The
suspect, she said, had since fled,
abandoning his home and car.
She said Mujidat's body had been
deposited
at the mortuary of the Oyo State Hospital,
Adeoyo, off Ring Road, Ibadan.
Mrs. Ilobanafor added that police were on
the suspect's trail, assuring: "Wherever he
is
hiding, I advise him to report himself
because he must come and explain his role
in the criminal act.
