Members of the public, especially victims of domestic abuse have been advised to promptly report all forms of violence or threats to the nearest police station for immediate action.
The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Lanre Ogunlowo gave the advice recently following the apprehension of one Fatai Quadri who was recorded on a video battering his wife.
CP Ogunlowo also reiterated the Command’s zero tolerance for domestic violence and warned that anyone found culpable of such act will face the full wrath of the law.
He pointed out that silence only empowers perpetrators while timely reporting ensures protection and justice.
It will be recalled that Ogun State Police Command recently nabbed one Fatai Quadri following a viral video that captured him 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 blows on the victim, resulting in bodily harm, was promptly apprehended by operatives of the Igbeba Divisional Police Headquarters, Ijebu Ode.
Preliminary investigation revealed that the assault 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.
The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Lanre Ogunlowo therefore urged members of the public to learn a lesson from the matter and report all forms of violence promptly.
