A traditional ruler in Ise Town, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos State, Taibu Ogunbanjo, is currently cooling his heels in police custody for allegedly crushing his wife to death. The baale runs a block-moulding factory at Folu, a community in Ibeju Lekki.
A community leader, who identified himself simply as Akinsipe, said the wife died on the spot, adding that the corpse had been deposited at the Epe General Hospital.
He said, “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 stated that the matter was reported at the Akodo Police Station, adding that the baale had been arrested.
A police source said, 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. He could not have lost control of the vehicle on the premises as a result of speeding. There is a limit to the speed the car can go on the premises.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Chike Oti, who confirmed Rotimi’s death, said the command would investigate the matter to unravel the motive behind the baale’s action.
From punch
Anger! Now that woman is gone
ReplyDeleteOgume tins
ReplyDeleteJust imagine the of wickedness. Poor woman. May she rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteThis domestic violence is getting very out of hand. What kind of anger?
ReplyDeleteOh my!!!!! Anything done in such anger never turns out well. May her soul find rest.
ReplyDeleteEnd time husband
ReplyDeleteAny marriage you not happy just leave, they won't hear now she gone, if you're not happy me I prefer staying in a corner to cry than reacting cos I might be so aggressive n won't know what to do next, so na to siddon cry for corner, then I'm relieved.
ReplyDeleteAnd when tears q longer bring relief, na your type dey chook husband for neck with knife when hin dey sleep. Aggression and tears in the same sentence, lie!
DeleteWhat a world. Chai. No christmas for this Baale.
ReplyDeleteSee how 2 adults cannot control themselves but allowed anger to end their lives.
He's muslim, no worries.
DeleteThis is the same marriage I've not heard word for right? I hope he gets a long time. So deliberate and wicked of him.
ReplyDeleteYour ears are deliberately tuned to negative reports of marriage to continue deceiving yourself that its better to remain single. There are literally millions of happy people in marriages, you wont see those ones.
DeleteDon't be so quick to give needless advice even if you're mad at the comment. This year makes it 34 for my parents and I want just the kind of MIL my mum has had. So for me it's not about what I've heard. I know there are happy ones cos I'm a product of one and we're surrounded by others. That's me reacting to the situation. Thanks by the way.
DeleteCharity, don't be deceived. It takes two to tangle as well as Mingle. Yes your mum might have been lucky to get a good MIL. But do you think she never hurt your mum? No. There would have been times when your mum would have wished her dead but handled the situation with the fear of God.
DeleteJust concentrate on being a great person, loving, accommodating, patient and forgiving,then top it up with prayers and you will be fine. Always remember to apply the mumu game of always being quiet when your boo is angry, no explanations, no justification just be quiet. It goes a long way. Wish you all the best
Hmmm anger !
ReplyDeleteThis is serious... For life the trauma would haunt him. Chaiiii what anger can cause...even it was an accident his state of mind would have aggravated the situation.
ReplyDeleteFrom the write-up,its not deliberate.now can the life be brought back?why didn't she take a step back to think of things getting out of hand before heading to the factory?he let the devil destroy his life!
ReplyDeleteI'm not supporting domestic violence. But as married women we must also take control of our anger when men piss us off. Don't let things escalate to the extent of destroying properties.
ReplyDeleteI have a male friend whose ex-wife will always destroy things when they argue. His final straw was when she tore up the whole house. Took a golf club and smashed the tv, stereo, glass center tables, ornaments in the parlour, pictures frames, plates everything.
He left that house and never went back. He said he has been told she is possessed and will eventually destroy him. Mind you he doesn't hit her. He just leaves the home when she starts. He can leave for days. She has torn his clothes uncountable times.
He has lost touch with their only child. I'm still trying to convince him about seeing his daughter 5years now.
He is very wealthy and his mum helps him send money for the girls upkeep and he reimburses the mum. Because he's been told by pastors not to have contact with the lady.
Wow
DeleteThis is something that could be avoided
ReplyDeleteAsanwanyi Mba5 haff seen smtun!
ReplyDeleteNever marry a man/woman with anger issues.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it's the right report. It is very possible the man has used the woman for one fetish sacrifice but use their anger issue to cover up.
ReplyDeleteShe dared him to her grave.how sad.
ReplyDeleteShe went to destroy his blocks which must have sky rocketed his anger and then...again, she most likely stood in his way.
Anger is just one letter short of
Danger.
