The police in Ogun state have arrested 47-year old housewife, Joy
Egeonu, for allegedly beating the 11-year nephew of her husband to death
on allegation that the deceased stole her N6,500.

The suspect was arrested following a report by the deceased’s mother,
Ijeoma Egeonu who reported at Agbado Divisional headquarters that her
son who was living with her elder brother and his wife at Opeilu in
Agbado was beaten to death by Joy on February 3rd over an allegation
that the boy, Chibuike Egeonu stole the sum of N6,500 belonging to her.
Egeonu added that the suspect later took the corpse of the boy to Ifo
where she hurriedly buried him.
