(Video) Tragic domestic dispute claims lives of police officer, wife in Ekiti State

A shocking case of domestic violence has led to the deaths of a police officer, Leramo Caleb, and his wife in Ekiti State.

Afri Reporters gathered that what began as a marital dispute turned deadly when the wife severed the officer’s penis during an altercation.

In a retaliatory act of rage, Caleb struck her on the head with a blunt object. Tragically, both succumbed to their injuries before help could arrive.

Their bodies have been deposited at a mortuary in Ekiti State as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Domestic violence remains a serious social issue in Nigeria, with many cases escalating into fatal consequences. Despite efforts by the government and advocacy groups to curb gender-based violence, cultural stigmas, lack of support systems, and inadequate enforcement of laws continue to fuel the crisis.

The tragic end of Caleb and his wife serves as a grim reminder of the dangers of unresolved marital conflicts and unchecked domestic abuse. Experts continue to advocate for stronger intervention measures, including counseling services, legal reforms, and community awareness programs, to prevent such devastating incidents.

Authorities urge individuals experiencing domestic conflicts to seek professional help rather than resorting to violence, emphasizing that support systems exist to provide guidance and protection.
