Man beats wife to death in Lagos

POLICE in Lagos have arrested a middle-aged man for allegedly beating his wife to death. The man simply identified as Kunle Adeola reports say, was in the habit of beating his wife to a state of coma for any slight provocation.

 
The deceased wife, Mrs. Oluwatoyyin Adetola, who lived with his estranged husband on 107 Community Road Bariga, had prior to her death complained bitterly to her father that she was opting out of the relationship for lack of love and battery. The father was said to have told her to go back to her husband promising to speak to the husband.

However, trouble was said to have ensued between the deceased and her husband on December 15, leading to a heated argument during which the husband allegedly pounced on her and dealt several blows on her. She reportedly slumped and died on the spot.

Sensing danger, the husband took to his heels and went into hiding while concerned residients and sympathisers went to report the case to Bariga Police Station. A search party was set up, which led to his arrest Monday.

But the suspect was said to had admitted beating the wife but denied flatly that he did not touch her on the date in question.

Speaking on the matter, the state police public relations officer, Mr. Frank Mba who confirmed the arrest of the man however said the cause of death of Mrs Adetola could only be ascertained through autopsy reports. " From what I have heard from the DPO, the man has admitted beating his wife regularly but denied that on the date of the incident they only had a heated argument which never result to any physical contact.

But again, the police may question the reason why he took to his heels when the wife reportedly slumped and died. However, in all this, only autopsy can prove his innocence or culpability", he said.

am still nailing this incident on anger, had it been that the husband was patient, he wouldn't have gone to the extent of touching his wife let alone beating her, may God be our guide in all we do, whatever anybody might do to you, try to be patient.

Wife beating is habit forming. Every male should take heed.

Please dont let anger to destroy your life. Do not let the sun go down on your anger.

This is a phrase to live by. When we immediately address our angry emotions, we are much less likely to burn bridges in our relationships with others. And, we are much more likely to deal with and communicate our emotions in a healthy manner.

Anger that builds over time leads to destruction of the self and relationships.  It pushes people away and isolates the person who is angry into bitterness.

Anger is a very powerful emotion that, when left unaddressed, can leave us isolated in bitterness, pushing others away and destroying our relationships. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We have the choice of dealing with our emotions positively, addressing our anger immediately and keep our relationships strong.
