A man who allegedly killed his wife is currently being held at a cell
in Lagos State .
According to the Lagos state police command , Anthony Ikpeama
allegedly killed his pregnant wife, Barrister Adaeze Destiny
Ikpeama during an argument.
He was alleged to have beaten 28 - year- old Adaeze to coma at
their Lagos residence last Saturday . Neighbours who witnessed
the fight rushed her to an undisclosed hospital , where she was
placed on oxygen .
Not done, the suspect was alleged to have gone to the hospital
and removed the oxygen mask, causing her to breathe her last.
He immediately fled the vicinity and took cover at Ajah area of
Lagos , where he was arrested .
A neighbour who spoke to Vanguard revealed that trouble started
for the deceased shortly after her marriage to Ikeama in 2014 , as
her husband turned her into a punching bag, even after having two
children for her husband .
The neighbour who spoke on the condition of anonymity said
“ Even when relatives from both sides intervened several times by
pleading with the suspect to stop beating his wife, he remained
adamant and continued to beat the poor girl any time they had a
disagreement . Covid - 19 and the subsequent lockdown of staying
at home made the domestic violence worse as it became a daily
ritual ” .
Confirming the arrest, spokesperson for the Lagos State Police
Command , CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi , who confirmed the incident ,
said , “ the ‘ woman died on April 10 , 2021 , after she was admitted
for pregnancy- related complications. The suspect still went to the
hospital to remove the oxygen mask on her, before she finally gave
up the ghost. The suspect , Anthony Ikpeama , who has been
alleged of constant assault on the deceased has been arrested .
The Commissioner of Police has ordered that the matter be
transferred to State CID for proper investigation .
