wife over his missing N500 at Oronna Street in
Abule-Egba, and locked himself up with the
corpse.
According to reports, fight broke out after the
man identified as Gbadebo Elegbede, accused his
17-year-old son of stealing his N500 at about
7am. His wife, Maria, was said to have defended
his son, an action that reportedly led to a verbal
confrontation with her husband, which
degenerated into a scuffle.
Gbadebo was said to have hit his wife with a
hard object on the face, causing her to slump.
When her son, Johnson attempted to lift his
mother from the floor, he discovered that she
was motionless and bleeding from the mouth
and nose.
Johnson reportedly ran out to alert neighbours
to come to his mother's help, but they met the
door of the apartment locked from inside, with
Gbadebo threatening to kill anyone who
attempted to force the door open.
Eyewitnesses said some of the deceased's
relatives who rushed to the scene were also
prevented from seeing Maria's corpse as the
door was still locked.
Policemen at nearby divisions who were
contacted said they had not been informed about
the incident yesterday evening.
An eyewitness said , "this is not the fight time he
is doing this. The first time they lost their
daughter, he locked her up in the room
preventing everyone, including his wife from
coming inside.
"Till date no one can tell what he did with her
corpse. . As you can see, everyone is afraid of
him in this area", the eye witness who simply
gave her name as Nwankego told Vanguard on
the telephone.
As at 4pm yesterday, Gbadamosi was still inside
the room with Maria's corpse, and there was no
news security operatives were already at the
scene.
