The Ogun State Police Command has arrested one Mr Fatai Quadri, who was caught on video violently assaulting his wife, Mrs Rukayat Quadri, at their residence in Illese-Ijebu on 15 September 2025.
The video, which went viral online, showed Quadri repeatedly punching his wife, leaving her with visible injuries. Police operatives from the Igbeba Divisional Headquarters, Ijebu-Ode, swiftly tracked and apprehended the suspect.
In a statement on Saturday, the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Omolola Odutola, confirmed the arrest. She said preliminary investigations revealed the attack followed a dispute over allegations of infidelity.
“The investigation further indicated that the suspect had transferred ownership of a 10-room en-suite apartment, jointly built with his wife, to another woman, which provoked the violent assault,” Odutola stated.
She added that the victim is currently receiving medical treatment, while the suspect remains in custody and will be charged in court once investigations are concluded.
Commissioner of Police, Mr Lanre Ogunlowo, reiterated the command’s zero tolerance for gender-based violence. He warned that perpetrators of domestic abuse would face the full weight of the law.
“Silence only empowers perpetrators, but timely reporting ensures protection and justice,” the statement added.
