A Lagos-based hotelier, identified simply as Bama, has been killed by his wife for allegedly impregnating another woman in Abule-Egba area of the state.
The owner of Bama hotel and suite was reportedly attacked in his sleep by his wife of 8 years, on Monday, January 24, 2022.
It was gathered that the couple, who has three kids, just returned from Dubai when the unfortunate incident occurred.
Bama was also said to have bought the wife a new Mercedes Benz car on her last birthday.
A source said she drugged him and used hot iron to press him to death.
Meanwhile leering, a suspect identified as Kelechi has been arrested one month after the mysterious death of his lover in Rivers State. Kelechi’s lover, Ifeoma Uzoigwe, aka Oyibo, was found dead at their residence on Woke Street, Chirubim Road, Mile 3, Diobu, Port Harcourt.
Kelechi had been on the run since the incident occurred in December 2021 as neighbours discovered Uzoigwe’s decomposing remains after a foul odour took over the compound.
Confirming the arrest, the Rivers State Police Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Grace Iringe-Koko, on Monday, said that Kelechi was detained at the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department.
Iringe-Koko noted that the state Commissioner of Police, Friday Eboka, had ordered a full-scale investigation after it was alleged that the suspect knew the cause of his lover’s death before fleeing the house days before the corpse was discovered.
According to the caretaker of the compound, Mr Chinonye Anurum, Kelechi was arrested by the Nkpolu Police Division with the help of his family, who trailed him to his hideout one month after the incident.
Anurum explained that Kelechi was handed over to the SCIID, adding that he (Anurum) had been invited to make another statement after the first statement he wrote in December when he first reported the incident to the police.
