A woman, identified as Mrs Ronke Bewaji Shonde, has been reported dead after being beaten by her husband in Egbeda, Lagos. The incident occurred at #5 Tiemo Crescent, off Awori Street, Ile-Epo Alhaji,  Egbeda, Lagos where she resided with her husband(Lekan Shonde) and her two kids.

Reports from neighbours claimed that the couple fought on Friday morning during which noise was heard from their flat. Their nanny, who reported for work at about 7am but could not enter the apartment because it was locked, peeped through the window and saw the kids crying, trying to wake their mother. She then raised alarm.

A neighbour said that they heard noise from the building but didn’t think it was something as serious as death, until the nanny raised the alarm.

The door to the couple’s flat was said to have been forced open and the woman’s corpse found with blood stains on her head.

The Lagos State Police Command Public Relations Officer, Dolapo Badmus, who confirmed the incident said it was reported by one Mrs Tiemo E.B at Idimu Division, saying one of her tenants appeared to have been killed. Badmus said the suspect could not be traced since the incident occurred and his phones were switched off.

According to her, the suspect was on the run and efforts were on to apprehend him.

The case has been transferred to the Homicide Section of the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, for investigation.

Boko Haram on Sunday released a video of the girls allegedly kidnapped from Chibok in April 2014, showing some who are still alive and claiming others died in air strikes. The video is the latest release from embattled Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who earlier this month denied claims that he had been replaced as the leader of the jihadist group. “They should know that their children are still in our hands,” said a man whose face was covered by a turban in the video posted on YouTube. “There is a number of the girls, about 40 of them, that have been married by the decision of Allah,” said the man in the 11-minute video, which shows girls with veils sitting on the ground and standing in the background. “Some of them have died as a result of aerial bombardment.” The mass kidnapping of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in April 2014 provoked global outrage and brought unprecedented attention on the Boko Haram conflict, in which at least 20,000 people have been killed since 2009
