A 30-year-old housewife, Shukurat Olufowobi, has been arrested by the men of the Ogun State Police Command for allegedly beating her five-year-old stepson, Azeem Olufowobi, to death.
Shukurat allegedly hit the head of the deceased with a heavy object, which reportedly broke his skull and led to his death.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Abimbola Oyeyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday. Oyeyemi said the suspect and the father of the deceased, Ayuba, were residents of the Oshodi-Oke area of Ogijo in the Sagamu Local Government Area of the state.
He stated that Ayuba conspired with his wife to bury the remains of the boy secretly and attempted to run away from the area before the police arrested them.
The PPRO said the woman was arrested alongside her husband around 12.30 pm on Sunday following the information received from members of the public.
Oyeyemi said residents of the area informed the police at the Ogijo Division
