The police have arrested one Segun Omotosho Ebenezer, 45, for allegedly beating his wife, Olubukola, to death.

It was learnt that Olubukola died in a fight with her husband over the ownership of a private school.

Ebenezer, a carpenter, reportedly beat his wife, an educationist, for establishing a private school in her name instead of his name.

Detectives arrested the suspect following a complaint at Kemta divisional headquarters on November 14, by the elder sister of the deceased, who reported the incident.

Olubukola was rushed to Federal Medical Centre, Idi-Aba, Abeokuta, by the suspect for treatment but she died shortly after admission.

However, before she passed on, she sent a voice note to her family members, informing them that her husband struck her in the head with a padlock.

In the voice note, she also advised her family to hold the husband responsible in the event of her death arising from the beating.

Police spokesman Abimbola Oyeyemi said yesterday that when the voice note was played to the suspect’s hearing, he took to his heels.

“Preliminary investigation revealed that their incessant quarrels were because the deceased built a private school in the name of herself and the husband, but the husband who is a carpenter had wanted to take over the control of the school which the deceased who was an NCE graduate refused.

“This has been the reason while the suspect has always been beating the deceased until the fateful day when he used the iron padlock to hit her on the head, which eventually led to her death,” Oyeyemi said.
