Businessman on the run after allegedly beating wife to death
A Lagos-based businessman, identified as Stephen Okafor, is currently on the run after allegedly beating his wife to death in Isolo area of the state.
Okafor and Blessing Uche were married for 12 years but they were unable to have kids. It was gathered that this caused a lot of issues in their home, with Okafor mostly being physically and emotionally abusive towards his wife.
According to a family source who spoke with newsmen, “On February 20, 2024, Mr Stephen Okafor beat his wife to death at their home in Ire Akari estate.
On that same day, after realising what he did, he took his wife to a hospital at Isolo where she was confirmed dead.
He then hurriedly chartered a local ambulance to take her body to her family house in Enugu. When the ambulance got there, the lady’s family discovered she was brutally beaten to death.
The local ambulance driver has been arrested.”
