A middle-aged pregnant woman, Mrs. Lateefat Odediran, was last
Saturday allegedly beaten to death by the husband of one of her friends
at Ibala area of Ede, Osun State. It was gathered that the deceased who
had eight months pregnancy had a quarrel with one of her friends and
neighbour identified as Tawakalitu Musibau and the quarrel degenerated
into exchange of fisticuff.
Daily Sun was reliably informed that Mrs. Odediran was given the
beating of her life by Mrs. Musibau who was later joined by her husband
who allegedly used sharp objects to beat the woman to the point of
death. The incident threw the entire Ibala area of the town into
mourning and efforts by residents of the area to get the man arrested
proved abortive as he fled immediately Mrs. Odediran gave up the ghost.
However, it was gathered that Mrs. Musibau who had issues with the
deceased had been arrested by the police in Ede and efforts were on by
the police to arrest the fleeing suspect. Also, the police are currently
on the trail of some residents of the area who could be traced to the
untimely death of the woman.
It was reliably gathered that an argument had earlier ensued between
the deceased and Mrs. Musibau, which degenerated into a crisis. Details
of what led to the argument between the two friends could not be
ascertained as at the time of filing this report but it was gathered
that domestic issues could have been the cause of the argument. The
Police Public Relations Officer for the state command of the Nigeria
Police, Mrs. Folashade Odoro, who confirmed the incident said the police
were still investigating the matter.
