The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one man, Fatai Quadri, who was captured in a viral video violently assaulting his wife, Rukayat Quadri, at their residence in Ilese-Ijebu on the 15th of September, 2025.
The suspect, who was seen inflicting fist several blows on the victim, resulting in bodily harm, was promptly apprehended by operatives of the Igbeba Divisional Police Headquarters, Ijebu Ode.
As contained in a press release by the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Omolola Odutola, on Saturday, preliminary investigation revealed that the assault by the man stemmed from a marital dispute arising from allegations of infidelity.
“Preliminary investigation further indicated that the suspect had transferred ownership of a 10-room en-suite apartment, jointly built with his wife, to another woman which provoked the violent attack.
“The victim is presently receiving medical treatment, while the suspect remains in custody and will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation,” it was stated in the release.
Meanwhile, the state Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, has restated the zero tolerance of the Ogun Command for domestic violence and warned that anyone found culpable of such act will face the full wrath of the law.
Members of the public, especially victims of domestic abuse, were also advised to promptly report all forms of violence or threats to the nearest police station for immediate action.
“Silence only empowers perpetrators, but timely reporting ensures protection and justice,” the Ogun PPRO added in the release.
