The police in Ekiti State have moved into Igbemo-Ekiti community in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State, to unravel the reasons a man, Mr Adewale Daramola, popularly known as Wasco, allegedly beat his wife to death.
Daramola, sources also alleged, did not just beat his wife, Iyabo, to death, but also buried her the same day, to the chagrin of the people of the community and Iyabo’s relations.
The woman, said to be about 38 years, had three children (two boys and one girl) from the union.
The sources alleged that after the incident, which occurred on Monday at their residence at Ijan Road, in Igbemo-Ekiti, Daramola ran away, with the sources claiming that he ran into the bush to escape arrest.
It was gathered that the police from Iworoko Police Station had, however, moved into the area in search of the suspect, with sources saying that the policemen had laid siege for Daramola since he bolted from the community on Monday.
The man, according to sources, was a motorcycle repairer and farmer.
However, at the time of filing this report, sources in the community said that the suspect had been arrested by the police and was being detained at the Iworoko Police Station.
Reacting, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Victor Babayemi, confirmed the incident, but said he was yet to get the details.
