Afobaje Maiyegun, a Lagos-based man, who allegedly battered
his wife and boasted about it on Facebook, has been arrested.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team
(DSVRT) took to its Twitter page on Thursday to confirm Maiyegun’s arrest in a
statement.
The agency also disclosed that the man would be charged to
court on May 15.
“The attention of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual
Violence Response Team was drawn to a
viral post on Facebook wherein one Afobaje Maiyegun boasted that he had just
beaten up his wife and declared he is ‘waiting for her police’ to come and
arrest him,” the statement read.
“Immediately, the team reached out to ACP Gbolahan Odugbemi,
Area Commander, Area J who ensured that the said person was arrested

On May 5, Maiyegun had taken to Facebook to brag about
beating his wife while also challenge the police to come for him.
“I beat my wife and I am waiting for her police because I
talk to a woman,” he had written in company of photos of the allegedly battered
spouse.
