He further revealed in public that he and some police officers had slept with her before she moved into his house with her four children.

The incident happened at Shobowale Street, Modina Road, Egan in the outskirts of Lagos where they reside.


The woman’s husband simply known as Chizoba, became angry and asked the wife to prove her innocence but she rather went to the police at Igando Division and reported the matter.

The suspect had been having constant quarrels with Chizoba who was a bus driver plying Lagos Island shortly after his wife moved into the compound.

According to the suspect, he was forced to say those things because the family provoked him, continued to abuse and threaten his own family.

Edo State-born Eshogaya said that he knew the husband some years ago before the wife came with her four children and started living with him.

He said that Chizoba did not tell him that he was married before when they were friends before the woman arrived with the children.

At the police station, he admitted that he said those offensive words.
