Victim of domestic violence dies in the hands o her husband

Relatives of a 30-year-old woman, Rafiat Okewole, are currently grieving over her sudden death, allegedly,  in the hands of her husband, a Lagos-based business man.

It was gathered that Okewole, though married to the businessman, was living separately on Odelusi Street, in the Ijoko area of Ota, Ogun State.

She was said to have lost her life during a disagreement that ensued when she visited her husband in the Gas Line area of Ijoko on Sunday to collect money for her children’s upkeep.

The deceased was said to have been having a running battle with her husband over his alleged failure to cater for her children.

The issue, however, reached its climax when the husband allegedly smashed Okewole’s head against the wall during the visit.

Efforts made by neighbours to save her life after the incident failed as she was confirmed dead in the hospital where she was rushed to for medical attention.

It was further learnt that her 41-year-old husband was arrested after the case was reported at a police station by one of the deceased’s siblings.
