his ex-wife, Bamidele Otakiti, in her shop on Adejobi Street in the
Ajasa Command area of Lagos.
Firstclass mewsline learnt that all had been well between the couple
since they moved to Lagos in 2005 until a few months ago when a
disagreement soured their relationship.
The problem was said to have led to their separation in February, 2015.

occasions accused Otakiti of adultery.

alleged act, the 47-year-old commercial motorcycle rider (okadarider)
had pleaded with the woman not to divorce him.

Otakiti's shop on April 21 at about 7.30pm, with a substance which
later tested positive for acid. She was reportedly trying to give them
change for some items they had bought when they poured the substance
on her.
The attackers allegedly told the woman that they were sent by her
ex-husband before they fled the area.
She was said to have been rushed to a nearby hospital, from where she
was referred to the General Hospital, Ile Epo, for intensive care.
Olatunbosun, who lives on Adetoun Street, Abule-Egba, was apprehended
after his alleged involvement in the incident, which was reported at
the Meiran Police Station.
A police source told firstclass newsline that the Ifewara, Osun State,
indigene initially denied the allegation, but later owned up after
being thoroughly quizzed.

comprehensive interrogation, he confessed, saying the woman had been
flaunting her beauty and committing adultery. He is giving us useful
information to track the fleeing suspects."

counts of assault preferred against him by a police prosecutor,
Inspector Benson Emuerhi.

the Criminal Law of Lagos State, Nigeria, 2011."
