“The people in the neighborhood, who had   been witnessing frequent beating   of the wife by the suspect, alerted the police of the latest happening consequent upon which the DPO, Shagamu, SP Aduroja Moses, led his men to the scene.

“The DPO rescued the victim and got the suspect arrested. “On interrogation, the suspect admitted chaining the woman to a generator, but claimed his action was in self-defence.
