KINGSLEY MADUKWE, A RESIDENT OF ATAN-OTA, OGUN STATE, WHO HAILED FROM IHIALA LGA OF ANAMBRA STATE, HAS BEEN ARRESTED BY OFFICERS OF THE OGUN STATE POLICE COMMAND FOR BEATING HIS NURSING WIFE, GLORY, TO DEATH.

During questioning, Madukwe told the men of the Ogun State Police Command that he had had a misunderstanding with his deceased wife, Glory Madukwe, over their one month old baby she was nursing. He had accused her of neglecting the baby who was crying for food. He said his wife's response to his accusation had upset him, so he'd annoyingly slapped her, unfortunately, sending her to her death. Glory's corpse has been deposited at the mortuary of the State Hospital, Ota.

According to the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, the suspect has been ordered by the State Commissioner of Police, CP Bashir Makama, to be transferred to the Homicide Section of the Command for further investigation.

EDITH JUMPED OUT OF THE HOTEL BED and hastily wriggled into her pant, then her skirt. She found her bra lying on the floor; she retrieved it and began to strap it to arrest her heavy dangling breasts. The naked man on the bed was seemingly exhausted. He watched her keenly and gently rubbed his hairy chest down to his pot-belly that floated like a ball in a pool. His phone rang.
