The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Fatai Quadri following a viral video showing him violently assaulting his wife, Rukayat Quadri, at their residence in Ilese-Ijebu on September 15, 2025.
CSP Omolola Odutola, the Command’s spokesperson, confirmed that the suspect was captured on video inflicting fist blows on his wife, leaving her with bodily injuries. Operatives of the Igbeba Divisional Police Headquarters, Ijebu Ode, promptly apprehended Quadri.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the assault stemmed from a marital dispute linked to allegations of infidelity. CSP Odutola added that the suspect had allegedly transferred ownership of a 10-room en-suite apartment, jointly built with his wife, to another woman, which reportedly 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,” Odutola stated.
The Ogun State Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo, reiterated the Command’s zero tolerance for domestic violence, warning that offenders would face the full wrath of the law. He urged victims and members of the public to promptly report any form of abuse or threats to the nearest police station. “Silence only empowers perpetrators, but timely reporting ensures protection and justice,” he emphasized.
