A commercial motorcyclist, Raphael (surname
withheld), yesterday, allegedly beat his wife, Bose, to
a pulp over disagreement on the outcome of the
Presidential and National Assembly elections.
A source told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that
the couple, who live in Igangu area of Omu-Aran in
Irepodun Local Government area of Kwara State are
members of different political parties.
According to reports, the result of the elections,
which was widely believed to favour a particular party
in the area, was said to have created frosty
relationship between the husband and wife.
Trouble started between the couple when Bose, in
the course of celebrating her party’s victory in the
House of Representatives and the Senatorial
elections in the area, made unpleasant gestures
toward Abiodun.
This was said to have angered Abiodun, who
immediately pounced on Bose and inflicted injuries
on her.
It took the intervention of neighbours and some
commercial motorcyclists in the area to save the
situation from degenerating further.
An eyewitness, Sikiru Adewale, a commercial
motorcyclist, told NAN that Abiodun accused his wife
of not being sympathetic to the failure of his party.
Adewale said Abiodun was not happy with Bose’s
attitude because she was always the major
beneficiary of his party’s numerous largesse to the
family.
“I think the husband was not happy with the way his
wife reacted to the outcome of the election results in
the area, even when she has benefited immensely
from her husband’s party’s largesse.’’ (NAN)
