Suspected wife killer surrenders, after 70 suicide threats

RRS Commander, Olatunji Disu and suspected killer, Lekan Shonde

In a dramatic twist, Mr. Lekan Shonde, who allegedly murdered his five months pregnant wife, Ronke, on Friday at their Egbeda residence in Lagos, yesterday surrendered himself to the police.

Shonde, 57, decided to surrender himself after some of his friends convinced him to do so. That, however, came after he had sent about 70 suicide threat text messages to his friends.
At 12:28p.m., Shonde and his friends appeared at the office of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos. 
The RRS Commander, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Olatunji Disu, ushered them to the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters, Ikeja, where the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, debriefed them. 
Shonde allegedly escaped to the Republic of Benin, hoping to enter Ghana and disappear, but was advised to return.
He shelved his plan and went to Ondo State, from where he was persuaded to return to Lagos and surrender. Shonde had over the weekend, sent about 70 text messages to a friend, Mr. Sunday Nwobi, indicating his intention to commit suicide.
