Lagos Baale crushes wife to death with Jeep
Baale of Ise Town , Ibeju Lekki, Lagos State, Taibu Ogunbanjo, has
been arrested by the Lagos State Police Command for reportedly
crushing his wife of three years, Rotimi Ogunbanjo , with his Toyota
Highlander.
It was gathered that Taibu’s marriage was plagued
with misunderstanding and fights, and Rotimi’s death on
Thursday, December 7, 2017 came after she went to her
husband’s block-moulding factory at Folu, a community in Ibeju
Lekki, to destroy blocks moulded.
Akinsipe, a community leader who confirmed the incident,
disclosing that the matter was reported at the Akodo Police
Station, said Rotimi died at the spot and her corpse has been
deposited at the Epe General Hospital.
“He (Taibu) is the baale of the community. He and his wife
had been having issues since they got married. I did not know
what actually happened between them on that day, but I learnt
that they had a disagreement in the morning.
“She went to his block factory and destroyed some blocks
arranged on the premises. He entered his vehicle angrily and
as he was driving out of the premises, the wife tried to stop
him. He hit her and she died on the spot” Akinsipe said.
A police source who spoke to Punch’s correspondent, said the
suspect’s family reported at the police station that the death
resulted from an accident.
“The baale and the woman got married three years ago without
a child and they had been having disagreements. On that
particular day, she destroyed some blocks at the industry. The
man became angry and as he was driving out, he crushed her
with his vehicle on the factory premises.
“The relations of the suspect have said that it was a case of
an accident. But looking at the circumstances surrounding the
incident, the accident claim is untenable” the source said.
