ABEOKUTA, Nigeria – A woman has been arrested in Nigeria’s Ogun State for brutally assaulting her husband, police in the southwestern state said on Monday.
Ogunlana Yemisi, 28, was taken into custody for allegedly assaulting her husband, Idowu Adebowale, 31, with a sharp object, said Omolola Odutola, spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command.
Adebowale was said to have reported to the police on Monday that his wife attacked him with a sharp object around 4:30 am on October 15 during a minor disagreement.
He was said to have shown the police officers the deep cut on his private part which he alleged his wife inflicted on him.
“Following this report, detectives promptly visited the scene, where the suspect was arrested,” Odutola told journalists on Monday.
“The wife denied the allegations during questioning, but given the severity of the injury and the length of time the complainant had not sought medical help, he was provided with a medical form and advised to go to the hospital.
“The suspect is currently in custody, and the case will be forwarded to the SCID in Abeokuta for further investigation. This information will be given detailed investigation, as it is a suspect case of uncontrollable anger, leading to domestic violence.”
