Residents of Agbado, in Ado-Odo Ota Local
Government Area of Ogun State have been
thrown into a state of shock when tragedy struck
in the home of a couple hitherto to be friendly
and gentle.The tragedy: a middle-aged woman
identified as Rauda Alaraba was allegedly thrown
into a pit latrine by her 46-year-old husband,
Surajudeen, in their rented house during a
domestic squabble between the two of them.
While the cause of the fight is yet unknown, the
marriage of the couple was said to have
produced some children but the husband, it was
learnt, was not gainfully employed and had to
rely on the wife, a petty trader, for sustenance.
According to Ogun State Commissioner of Police,
Mr. Ikemefuna Okoye, the suspect committed the
crime at about 7.20pm penultimate Sunday. He
said the suspect would be charged to court after
the completion of the interrogation. Disclosing
how the police got the story, Okoye said: “The
Agbado Division had a distress call that a man
had pushed his wife into a deep pit and we
quickly rushed to the scene where the victim was
met dead in the pit.
“The suspect was immediately apprehended and
we are still interrogating him, he will be charged
to court as soon as we are done with our
investigations”.
