A manhunt has been
launched by the Lagos State Police Command for Mr. Lekan Shonde, who allegedly killed his
banker-wife, Ronke, in Lagos on Thursday night.
The victim Ronke Shonde, a mother of two, was found
dead in their apartment located on Tiemo Close, Off Awori Street, in
the Egbeda-Idimu area of Lagos State on Friday morning.
Her hubby was said to have fled with his wife’s mobile phones after the incident occurred.
The Police Public Relations Officer,
Lagos Command, Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident on Saturday, adding
that the matter had been transferred to the Department of Criminal
Investigation, Yaba.
She said “marks of violence” were found on Ronke, suggesting that she was murdered in cold blood.
The police spokesperson further said the command had launched a manhunt for the husband of the deceased.
The police spokesperson explained that
the deceased’s husband was at large and could not be reached on his
telephone lines, which had been switched off.
A neighbour, who has a shop on the street, said Ronke died on Thursday night but the neighbours did not know until Friday morning.
The neighbour said the couple lived
comfortably, as the wife worked with Guaranty Trust Bank while her
husband works at the Apapa depot of Mobil.
