has called on the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye,
to order the arrest and prosecution of one Bashorun Bayo Awosanya for
battering his wife.
The President of the organisaDr. Joe Okei-Odumakin, who made the call, said on April 20, Awosanya returned from a social party and pounced on her wife, Ms Victoria Motunrayo Awosanya, and beat her mercilessly for flouting his order and attended the social gathering he asked her not to go.
Awosanya was said to be in the habit of beating his wife. Odumakin said for the quick intervention of the security man at the gate, who stepped in to rescue her, Awosanya, said to be a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), would have killed his wife. The woman sustained various degrees of injury as her head was hit against the window glasses.
The battered woman was rushed to the Crescent Hospital, Sabo, Sagamu, where medical examination was conducted on her. The medical report shows that she was bleeding profusely from the face and head and multiple bruises were all over her body.
“Our focus is not on the APC, but justice, because we learnt that immediately after the act was committed, Awosanya was said have travelled out of town,” Odumakin said in a statement. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, did not pick his calls at press time, to confirm the story.
