Odutola said uncontrollable anger from an argument led to the unfortunate incident.

She added that the problem started when the victim, Tope Owoade, stopped the suspects from sitting on her table used for selling animal skin (ponmo).

The spokesperson said: “The victim tried to prevent her neighbours from sitting on her work table, and this resulted in a misunderstanding which later led to her death.

“The Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ogijo Division received a complaint from one Isiaka Owoade, the deceased’s husband, on Friday.

“He explained that his neighbours beat up his wife and the act later resulted in her death.

“Owoade narrated that on Friday when he returned from a journey, his late wife informed him that on Thursday at about 8:30 p.m. their neighbours, a father and son, beat her mercilessly and inflicted injuries on her.

“He said his wife was beaten because she cautioned the duo against sitting on the work table she used in selling edible animal skin.

“He added that the beating later resulted in her bleeding severely from the womb and in her private part.
