From CHARLES ADEGBITE, Ado Ekiti

A 45-yearold man, Mr. Daramola, is now in police net for allegedly beating his wife to death at Igbemo-Ekiti community in Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area of Ekiti State.

Daramola, a motorcycle repairer and farmer, popularly known as Wasco, allegedly beat his wife, Mrs Iyabo Daramola, a mother of three children to death and buried her the same day after the incident to the chagrin of the people of the community and Iyabo’s relations.

The 38-year-old woman met her untimely death on Monday when she allegedly requested for her food money and the man said he had no money, but while he was talking, the sum of N38, 000 allegedly fell from his pocket.

This was said to have led to an argument between them, and the man began to beat her. A source said as the woman attempted to run away, the husband took wood and allegedly pursued her and began to beat her, during which the woman fell down and died.

The sources added that after the incident in their residence at Ijan Road in Igbemo-Eki, Daramola ran away but the police from Iworoko police station had moved into area in search of him. Reacting to the incident, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Ekiti State Police Command, Mr. Victor Babayemi, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.

A family member of the deceased and Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalist, NUJ, Ekiti State Council, Laolu Omosilade confirmed that the police had arrested him as at press time.
