Ekiti police detain man for assaulting his wife
The Ekiti Police Command has detained one Jimoh Abdulrahman, who brutally assaulted his wife, Taiwo Akintunde-Abdulrahman, in Ado-Ekiti.
This is contained in a statement by the command spokesman, Sunday Abutu, on Sunday in Ado-Ekiti.
Mr Abutu said the state’s commissioner of police, Joseph Eribo, had directed the divisional police officer of Oke-Ila to identify the man and commence a thorough investigation after he watched the viral video of the assault on February 15.
He said police operatives from the Oke-Ila Division have swung into action and detained the suspect.
Mr Abutu said the case had been transferred to the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) unit of the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) for discreet investigation and arraignment.
The viral video of the assaulted wife by her husband was circulated on social media platforms on Saturday in Ado-Ekiti.
