The Lagos State Police Command has arrested 23-year-old Gbolahan Adebayo for allegedly beating his girlfriend to death in Ijedodo, Alimosho Local Government Area, Lagos State.

It was discovered that the incident occurred during the deceased’s visit to the suspect’s home on Friday.

A resident who identified himself only as Akin informed Newsmen on Monday that the woman was heard begging for help about midnight while being battered by her lover.

Akin said that Adebayo later raised the alarm at dawn when he discovered she was no longer responsive following the attack.

He said, “The girl was a regular visitor to the suspect’s home and came around as usual on Friday night. But when it was about 2 am, neighbours started hearing someone screaming and later discovered it was the suspect who was beating her girlfriend in his room. The screaming lasted at intervals for about an hour.

“After that, the screaming stopped. It was in the morning that the boyfriend started shouting for help and when the neighbours who were around at that time went to attend to him, they saw the girl lying motionless on the bed.”

A police source, who spoke to Newsmen on the condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to speak on the matter, said the incident was reported at the Isheri-Oshun Police Division by the suspect’s neighbour on Sunday.

The source said the girl was first taken to the hospital where she later succumbed to the injuries sustained during the incident before it was reported to the police.

“When the neighbour came, he explained that the incident happened two days ago and that efforts were first made to resuscitate the girl but she eventually passed away. As a result, a team of policemen were immediately drafted to the scene, leading to an ongoing investigation.”

When contacted, the spokesperson for the command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident.

The image maker said visible marks of violence were found on the deceased’s body, adding that her corpse had been deposited in the morgue.

He said, “One neighbour reported at Isheri Osun Division that on 21/02/25 at about 2 am, he saw his neighbour, one Gbolahan Adebayo ‘m’ age 23 years beating his girlfriend aged 25 years in his home in Ijedodo for a yet-to-be-determined reason. However, at about 7 am the said Gbolahan Adebayo reportedly screamed for help and on getting to his apartment, the said girlfriend was met lying unconscious on the bed with visible marks of violence found on the body.

“She was immediately taken to a hospital in Ijegun where he was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty. Based on the report, a team of detectives visited the scene of the incident. The hospital was also visited, where the corpse was inspected and photographed. The corpse was evacuated and deposited at the IDH morgue, Yaba for autopsy. The suspect was promptly arrested and an investigation is in progress on the matter,” Hundeyin concluded.
