APC Chieftain in Ogun state Bashorun Bayo Awosanya who reportedly beat his wife to pulp after an argument has denied the allegations.

He was said to have committed the incident at their residence in Sagamu on Easter Sunday April 20th around 8.30pm.
Bayo Awosanya who was said to have initially pleaded with his wife to save his political career by accepting compensations told the court that the wife “fell from the stairs, all by herself.”
Magistrate O.O. Ojo, however disregarded the photo evidence of the attack and asked for provision of witnesses to testify while threatening the complainant to close the case.

The Victim
Relatives of the victim, Mrs. Victoria Awosanya, said they were “not surprised” at the sudden turn of events few days to court date  as her in-laws including Bayo Awosanya's father, had promised “she would regret the outcome” they had prepared for her at court while another source said the victim's husband had threatened that she will “regrets not accepting compensation for the assault”.
A family source who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the event in court was “confirmation of the in-law's threat.” The magistrate refused key evidence, threatening to throw out the case should she not provide (the) persons who witnessed the torture.
Meanwhile the gate-keeper who saved the woman after hearing her cries from his station is said to have been replaced.
A source suggested he must have “reached out to the magistrate” in the case to compromise justice, and by doing so, to frustrate the case.
Magistrate O.O. Ojo adjourned the case to the  June 21st , by when he expects the complainant to have either found a witness, or opt out of the case altogether.

Wife battering is bad and cowardly.  There are many was to handle a woman.  It does not have to end up in beating!
