Man in viral video beating wife arrested, cause revealed.

The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed the arrest of one Fatai Quadri after a viral video allegedly showed him violently assaulting his wife, Rukayat, in the Ilese-Ijebu area of the state, with the cause also revealed.

The spokesperson of the Command and a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest on Saturday.

Odutola, in a statement she issued to newsmen, explained that the incident occurred on Monday.

She said the suspect was captured on video inflicting fist blows on his wife, leaving her with bodily injuries.

According to her, operatives of Igbeba Divisional Police Headquarters, Ijebu Ode promptly arrested the suspect.

The Police Public Relations Officer disclosed that preliminary investigations linked the assault to a marital dispute arising from allegations of infidelity.

She revealed that the suspect had allegedly transferred the ownership of a 10-room en-suite apartment, jointly built with his wife, to another woman.

This, she explained, allegedly provoked the violent attack after Rukayat demanded explanation on this.

Woman allegedly stabs tenant to death during fight in Ogun.

A 32-year-old woman, identified as Modinat Saka, has been arrested by the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly stabbing a 40-year-old man, Ganiu Abdullahi, during a domestic altercation in the Agbado area of the state.

According to police sources, the incident occurred around 7 pm on Wednesday at Ifelodun Street, Agbado, after a disagreement reportedly broke out between the suspect and her tenant, Ganiu Abdullahi.

What began as a verbal exchange reportedly escalated into a physical confrontation inside the victim’s room. During the altercation, Ganiu allegedly attacked Modinat with a piece of broken glass, injuring her hand. In response, Modinat was said to have retaliated by stabbing him in the chest with a broken bottle.

The victim was pronounced dead from the resulting injury.

Police operatives arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, collecting forensic evidence and photographing both the area and the deceased. The body was subsequently moved to Life Channel Morgue on Olambe Alausa Road for post-mortem examination.

The suspect is currently being held in custody and, according to the police, will be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department, SCIID, in Abeokuta for further investigation and possible prosecution.

Identity and photo of woman who died inside MFM Prayer City Auditorium circulate online.

A photograph showing the woman who reportedly took her life inside the Mountain of Fire and Miracles (MFM) Prayer City Auditorium has circulated widely on social media, intensifying public scrutiny of the tragic event.

The incident occurred along the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway and was reported earlier this week by WITHINNIGERIA.

The deceased, identified as 41-year-old Benita Lurk Ikuenobe, was found unresponsive inside the auditorium on the morning of Friday, July 18, 2025.

Church security official Esiere Ekikere, alerted around 7:20 a.m., discovered her lying motionless with a nearly-empty bottle of a suspected pesticide, believed to have been ingested intentionally.

Police officers from the Ogun State Police Command were dispatched to the scene. They documented the scene with photographs before transferring her body to the Real Divine Hospital mortuary, where an autopsy investigation has been scheduled.

The image of the woman inside a religious venue has drawn widespread emotional response. Many social media users expressed shock and sorrow, questioning how such an incident could occur in a church auditorium.

When contacted for comment, Police PRO Omolola Odutola clarified that the cause of death remains unconfirmed, according to Sahara Reporters.

She emphasized that the incident is still under investigation and discouraged speculation over suicide without forensic confirmation. “The police are yet to establish her actual cause of death,” she said.

This heartbreaking incident underscores the critical need for community mental health awareness, especially in spiritual environments. As authorities continue investigations, the public awaits clarity on whether foul play was involved or if the death was indeed self-inflicted.

Notorious Kidnap Kingpin, Wasiu Oloyede, Nabbed In Ogun State.

The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a notorious kidnap gang leader, Wasiu Oloyede, in the Odo Pako area of Ota.


Oloyede and his gang had reportedly abducted a soldier in Alagbado, Lagos, on Friday, dispossessing him of his uniform, ID card, ATM cards, and mobile phone. The soldier, however, managed to escape from captivity.

In a brazen attempt to impersonate military personnel, Oloyede donned the stolen uniform and tried to overpower a local vigilante member, aiming to seize his dane gun. His plan was thwarted, and he was promptly apprehended.

Police investigations are ongoing to unravel the full extent of his criminal network.
