A policeman kills own son and crushed his wife's legs

A police Corporal is alleged to have used a bus to crush his wife's legs and stabbed his toddler son to death at Kale Close in Mafoluku Lagos.

 

The accused, 35-year-old Lucky Ikharia, who hails from Sabon Gida Ora Edo State had a misunderstanding with his wife, Dupe over alleged theft of his N2000.  This made him to send her packing  and took the only child of the marriage from her.

 

 

Lucky is said to have attacked his wife Dupe, on her way to her mother's house at the Olorunsogo junction by pursuing her with a bus and crushed her legs in the process.  Leaving her for dead, Lucky drove to his house and stabbed their child David in the stomach before fleeing the scene.

 

'Narrating what happened, Dupe said “We got married and started living together around October 2013. We usually had quarrels and that was not the first time he would beat me up, and send me out of the house. But this incident started on Sunday, October 26. Lucky had initially kept N15,000 with me.   “Then, on Sunday, he collected N5, 000 to repair the bus. Later I gave him the rest, only to realise it was N8, 000. So, he began to question where I kept the remaining N2000. But I knew that it was his nature to stir up trouble because he had a habit of keeping money with me and going again to take it.

 

“So, we began to fight, and he asked me to leave the house. He did not allow me to take the child with me that day. I was sleeping in friends’ places until Thursday when I decided to go back home. I did not find my baby, and when I asked him, he threatened that if he met me in the house by evening, he would kill me, kill the baby and himself.”

 

Dupe said she was then called by her mother to come to their family house in Mushin, adding that as she got on her way, and was at the Olorunsogo junction, a commercial bus swerved to her path and hit her several times.

 

She said, “The commercial bus was his bus. He was the only man inside. He hit me and I fell. Then he reversed and came over my legs again. I lost consciousness. That was the last thing I knew.”

 

Residents of the compound later found David's lifeless body and reported the case to the police.

 

Dupe is yet to be told that David, her son, is no more
