The Ogun State Police Command has apprehended one Fatai Quadri following a viral video that captured him violently assaulting his wife, Rukayat Quadri, at their residence in Illese-Ijebu on the 15th of September, 2025.
The suspect, who was seen inflicting fist blows on the victim, resulting in bodily harm, was apprehended by operatives of the Igbeba Divisional Police Headquarters, Ijebu Ode.
A statement by the command’s Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, indicates that preliminary investigation reveals that the assault stemmed from a marital dispute arising from allegations of infidelity.
The statement further shows that the suspect has transferred ownership of a 10-room en-suite apartment, jointly built with his wife, to another woman which provoked the violent attack.
According to the statement, the victim is presently receiving medical treatment, while the suspect remains in custody and will be charged to court upon conclusion of investigation.
It advises members of the public, especially victims of domestic abuse, to promptly report all forms of violence or threats to the nearest police station for immediate action.
The statement says the State Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo reiterates the Command’s zero tolerance for domestic violence, warning that anyone found culpable of such act will face the full wrath of the law.
