government area of the state.
Oyeyemi said in a statement: “The suspect, who is a member
of the disbanded Merchant Navy, used handcuffs to chain his wife who had become
so weak as a result of alleged beating by the husband. “The people in the
neighborhood, who had been witnessing frequent beating of the wife by the
suspect, alerted the police of the latest happening consequent upon which the
DPO, Shagamu, SP Aduroja Moses, led his men to the scene.
“The DPO rescued the
victim and got the suspect arrested. “On interrogation, the suspect admitted
chaining the woman to a generator, but claimed his action was in self-defence.
“The state Commissioner of Police, CP Ahmed Iliyasu, who
described the action of the suspect as the height of wickedness, has ordered
the transfer of the case to the Anti-Human Trafficking and Child Labour Unit of
the State Investigation and Intelligence Department for further investigation.
“The CP warned residents of the state that the command will
not tolerate any act of domestic violence no matter who is involved.”
