The Command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday.
Hundeyin said that the incident happened on Dec. 18, while the suspect was arrested same day after the Meiran Police Division got information about it.

Sources had earlier told NAN that the woman got angry with her husband, who attended his childhood friend’s wedding without taking her along.
