HUSBAND BEATS HIS WIFE TO DEATH OVER N500 IN LAGOS; LOCKS HER CORPSE
This is a pathetic and yet dreaded
situation. Even policemen are afraid:
â??This is not the fight time he is doing
this. The first time they lost their
daughter, he locked her [corpse] up in the
room preventing everyone, including his
wife from coming inside.
"Till date no one can tell what he did with
her corpse. As you can see, everyone is
afraid of him in this area.â??
That was the much a female resident in
the area, identified as Nwankego, could
say due fear for her safety.
Oronna Street in Abule-Egba area of Lagos
was on Monday thrown into confusion
after a 60-year-old man who allegedly
killed his wife over his missing N500,
locked himself up inside their home with
the corpse.
Reports said fight broke out after the man
identified as Gbadebo Elegbede, accused
his 17-year-old son of stealing his N500 at
about 7am. His wife, Maria, was said to
have defended his son, her action
reportedly led to a verbal confrontation
with her husband,which degenerated into
a scuffle.
In the process, Gbadebo was said to have
hit his wife with a hard object on the face,
causing her to slump.
His son, Johnson, was said to have
attempted to lift his mother from the
floor only to discover that she was
motionless and bleeding from the mouth
and nose.
Johnson reportedly ran out to alert
neighbours to come to his motherâ??s
help, but they met the door of the
apartment locked. Gbadebo is in and
threatening that he would kill anyone who
force the door open.
Eye witnesses said some of the
deceasedâ??s relatives who rushed to the
scene were also prevented from seeing
Mariaâ??s corpse as the door was still
locked and they are afraid for their life.
Surprisingly, according to vanguard,
policemen at nearby divisions who were
contacted said they had not been
informed about the incident. As at 4pm on
Monday, Gbadebo was still inside the room
with Mariaâ??s corpse and no one could go
close.
