Odutola explained that the suspect was captured on camera delivering multiple punches to his wife, causing bodily injuries.
The police swiftly arrested him through operatives attached to the Igbeba Divisional Police Headquarters, Ijebu Ode.
Preliminary investigations revealed the assault was triggered by a domestic disagreement involving allegations of infidelity.
Further inquiry showed that the suspect had transferred ownership of a jointly built 10-room en-suite apartment to another woman, which reportedly fueled the violent confrontation.
The victim is currently receiving medical care, while the suspect remains in police custody.
He is expected to be charged to court once investigations conclude.
The State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Lanre Ogunlowo, says there is zero tolerance for domestic violence and warned that offenders would be dealt with according to the law.
“Members of the public, especially victims of domestic abuse, should not hesitate to report any form of violence or threats to the nearest police station for immediate intervention,” Ogunlowo advised.
“Remaining silent only emboldens offenders, but reporting promptly helps ensure protection and justice,” she added.
