The case of violence against women is rising at an
alarming rate, writes OLASHILE SOTUMINU.
The latest of this ugly social malaise is that of
Bashorun Bayo Awosanya, a
strong Ogun State APC chieftain and close ally of the
State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, who was involved in a domestic scuffle with
his wife, almost resulting in her death, but for the timely intervention of the
gate-man who rushed her to the hospital. The incident reportedly occurred
at his Sagamu GRA residence around 8.30pm on the 20th April, 2014(Easter
Sunday). 
According to a close source, trouble started when Awosanya returned
from a house-warming party; he accused his wife of not attending the party with
him and before the wife could give a meaningful excuse, he pounced on her beat
her blue black, which we learnt has been a habit of his to batter his wife.
Sensing danger, the wife made to escape through the staircase, but he caught up
with her, and started hitting her head on the glass railings, and strangling
her at the same time.
The injured wife is currently receiving treatment
in the Crescent Hospital, GRA Sagamu, right now, but no case has yet been
levelled against the wife-beater, Bashorun Bayo Awosanya.
