POSTED ON March 29, 2024 •   LOCAL NEWS      BY Benedicta Bassey

The Lagos State Police Command has arrested one Emmanuel Okpara for having allegedly beaten his wife, Patience, to death in the Agege area of the State. 

Okpara was said to have physically assaulted his wife on Monday after a heated argument reportedly ensued between the couple.

A police source disclosed that the wife, Patience sustained internal injuries and started vomiting blood in the process. 

The source said, “The son of the deceased reported at Elere Division on Tuesday that on Monday around 1 am, he received a phone call that his mother’s husband, Emmanuel Okpara, beat her, leading to injury and vomiting of blood. 

“When he rushed to their residence on Tuesday morning, he did not meet Emmanuel but saw only her mother. He subsequently rushed her to Orile Agege General Hospital where she was admitted for medical treatment.”
The police source said the suspect was later arrested and detained. 

When contacted, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident, adding that the corpse would be evacuated to the Mainland General Hospital mortuary, Yaba, for autopsy.
