A young man, Ejike Igwekile, has been thrown down from a two-storey building at Okota, Lagos by his angry in-laws at Okota, Lagos State, southwest Nigeria.
Ejike’s sin is that he allegedly beat his wife, Nkiru, 27, from Delta State, south-south Nigeria, and she ran away with their only daughter to her parents’ house at Orile Coker, Lagos, barely a year after they got married.
According to Igwekile, who is from Okija in Anambra State, southeast Nigeria, sometime this year they had a little quarrel and Nkiru took their only daughter to her parents’ house when he left for his business.
He said trouble started when their baby fell sick and his wife phoned him to bring money so that she could take her to a hospital for treatment.
He said he ignored them and insisted that Nkiru should come back to his house with the baby so that he would take her to a hospital.
