The Ogun State Police Command has detained a 28-year-old woman, Ogunlana Yemisi, following accusations of assaulting her husband, Idowu Adebowale, 31, and inflicting a severe injury on him.
According to a statement from the police spokesperson, SP Omolola Odutola, the incident occurred during a minor disagreement early on October 15. Adebowale reported that his wife attacked him with a sharp object around 4:30 AM.
When officers arrived, they observed a significant injury to Adebowale’s genital area, which he claimed was caused by his wife.
“Upon receiving the report, detectives quickly responded to the scene and apprehended the suspect,” stated the police spokesperson.
While the wife denied the allegations during questioning, the gravity of the injury and the delay in seeking medical attention prompted police to provide Adebowale with a medical form and recommend he visit a hospital for treatment.
The suspect remains in custody, and the case will be forwarded to the State Criminal Investigation Department in Abeokuta for further inquiry.
The police emphasized that this situation will be thoroughly investigated, as it raises serious concerns regarding domestic violence fueled by intense emotional distress.
