An Ikeja High Court on Thursday sentenced a businessman, Suleiman Olalekan, to death by hanging for killing his 22-year-old wife, Chika Egbo, by bathing her with acid.
Justice Lateef Lawal-Akapo sentenced Olalekan to death after finding him guilty of a two-count of murder and grievous bodily harm.
Lawal-Akapo, while pronouncing the sentence, said, “The defendant is found guilty of murder, the defendant, Suleiman Olalekan, will be hanged by the neck until you are dead.
