| THE LATE DUPE |
The husband, Corporal Lucky Ikharia, allegedly crushed Dupe’s legs with a commercial bus after a marital squabble. The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Kenneth Nwosu, yesterday disclosed plans to conduct an autopsy on the woman’s body.Police hierarchy in Lagos State has directed that an autopsy test be conducted on the body of Mrs Dupe Ikharia, who died nine days after her husband allegedly attacked her.
He said: “Our stand is that law is no respecter of any person, whoever disobeys the law will face its consequences. “We are in touch with the deceased woman’s family. We have also directed them to liaise with the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, so that an autopsy report will be made. We heard that the woman was treated at a healing home before she died.”
Nwosu also said that the police had arrested Ikharia who, according to him, is being detained at the SCID, Panti, while a team of investigating officers has been constituted on the matter. “We have to determine the condition under which the action was taken. If the family or any person wants to get the right information, it is not where he (Ikharia) works,” the PPRO added.
Meanwhile, Dupe’s younger brother, Mr Segun Akhiode, confirmed that the police had stepped into the matter: He said: “I am just leaving the PPRO’s office; they have assured us they would speed up their investigation on the matter. However, we should go to Panti so that we can go for an autopsy.” Dupe allegedly died at Dr Bones Orthopaedic Hospital, Mushin.http://newtelegraphonline.com/police-order-autopsy-on-corporals-wifes-body/
