The running battle between a couple in Ladi-Lak, Bariga area of Lagos State, has ended on a tragic note as the husband, John Onyeme, reportedly beat his wife to death.
learnt that the deceased, Esther Onyeme, was a deaconess and proprietress of a nursery and primary school in the community.
A resident of Ayorinde Street, Tope Adeyemo, told our correspondent that the woman had on several occasions reported John at the Pedro Police Station covering the neighbourhood. “He normally beat her at night. He would chase her around the passage with a knife. I begged him to stop beating her but he said I should not interfere in their matters gain. I told him he would kill her one day. That was sometime last year. No one here would say good thing about John.
She said, “It is tragic. She should be in her mid-40s. Most times, the husband beat her for denying him sex. Which woman would allow an irresponsible man to be having sex with her? She left home about five months ago when she could no longer bear his trouble.
