Policeman Crushes Wife's Legs; Kills Baby Over N2,000
Policeman Crushes Wife's Legs; Kills Baby Over N2,000
A police officer attached to the Makinde Police Division, Lagos,
Lucky Ikharia, allegedly used his bus to crush his wife's legs and
killed their baby boy after he accused her of stealing his N2,000.
For allegedly taking the sum of N2,000 from her
husband's pocket without telling him, a 30-year-old housewife, Dupe
Ikharia, has had her legs crushed by her police officer husband, Lucky
Ikharia, who also murdered their baby in the process before attempting to kill himself.
The
34-year-old officer attached to the Makinde Police Division, Oshodi,
Lagos, had allegedly used his bus to run over his wife several times,
and thinking he had killed her, fled the scene, went home and stabbed his baby boy David to death, ripping the toddler's intestines, before turning the knife on himself in an attempt to take his life.
Lucky,
who luckily did not die from his self inflicted wounds, is no where to
be found while his wife, is said to be in a critical condition.
The
incidence which occurred at the family’s rented apartment in Kale
Close, Mafoluku, Oshodi, on October 30, 2014, is still sending ripples
down the spines of those who knew the otherwise calm police officer who
must have allowed the devil to take a hold of him.
According to news reports, four days prior to the incident, Lucky, who hails from
Sabon Gida Ora, Edo State, had a quarrel with his wife, Dupe, over the
missing N2,000, after which he reportedly sent her packing. The
policeman, had also ‘seized’ their only child from Dupe as a means of
‘punishing’ her.
At about 8pm on the day of the
attack, Dupe, an indigene of Abeokuta, Ogun State, was heading for her
mother’s house in Mushin, unknown to her that Lucky was waiting in a bus
to attack her. It was learnt that on getting to Olorunshogo junction,
Lucky pursued his wife with the bus, crushing her legs in the process.
Leaving
her for dead, Lucky was said to have fled the scene while passersby
initially thought the attack was random. However, after Dupe was rushed
to a nearby hospital on same evening for treatment and had regained
consciousness the following morning, she explained that the man who
drove the bus which crushed her legs was her own husband.
Unknown
to Dupe, after her husband attacked her, he reportedly drove back to
their apartment where he stabbed their child, David, in the belly,
before fleeing the residence. Lucky’s co-tenants and Dupe’s relatives
who discovered the baby’s corpse in the morning, reported the incident
at the Akinpelu Police Division. It was also gathered that the knife and
the bus had both been recovered.
When Metro
visited the hospital where Dupe was receiving treatment, the woman, who
could hardly speak, said the cause of the fight was a sum of N2, 000
which Lucky claimed she stole.
Useless husband
