A 34-year-old police corporal, Lucky Ikharia attached to the Makinde Police Division, Oshodi on Oct 30, allegedly used his bus to crush the legs of his wife before heading home where he allegedly stabbed his baby, David, to death, ripping out the toddler’s intestines over N2000.
His wife Dupe, 30, an indigene of Abeokuta, Ogun State who’s currently in critical condition narrated how her husband crushed her legs;
“We got married and started living together around October 2013. We usually had quarrels and that was not the first time he would beat me up, and send me out of the house. But this incident started on Sunday, October 26. Lucky had initially kept N15,000 with me.
Then, on Sunday, he collected N5, 000 to repair the bus. Later I gave him the rest, only to realise it was N8, 000. So, he began to question where I kept the remaining N2000. But I knew that it was his nature to stir up trouble because he had a habit of keeping money with me and going again to take it.
So, we began to fight, and he asked me to leave the house. He did not allow me to take the child with me that day. I was sleeping in friends’ places until Thursday when I decided to go back home. I did not find my baby, and when I asked him, he threatened that if he met me in the house by evening, he would kill me, kill the baby and himself. The commercial bus was his bus. He was the only man inside. He hit me and I fell. Then he reversed and came over my legs again. I lost consciousness. That was the last thing I knew,” she said.
A police source told Punch that the suspect who hails from Sabon Gida Ora, Edo State was one of the patrol van drivers, but he had not reported to work since the incident.
