Beleaguered husband, Lekan Shonde – accused of killing his wife in a story that has captivated the nation – yesterday surrendered himself to the police, after insisting that he wouldn’t.
Lekan has been accused of beating his wife, Ronke to death in a domestic fight in his Egbeda residence.
According to Encomium, the suspect decided to turn himself in because friends pleaded with him to report himself to the police and face the full proceeding of the law in proving his innocence.
The efforts to get Lekan to surrender by his friends was initiated when they reached out to a certain Chris Kehinde Nwandu, a blogger who has stayed on the story.
A delegation met Lekan at a hotel in GRA Ikeja around 11:30 am before they subsequently went on to meet the commander of the Rapid Reponse Squad, Tunji Disu who in turn took them to the office of the Commissioner of Police, Fatai Owoseni.
The Commissioner referred the case to the homicide section in Panti police station, Yaba.
