The Ondo Police have arrested Moses Olapade, a former boxer, for punching his wife into a coma over a television remote.
The event allegedly occurred in Ondo, inside their apartment at No. 9 Odama Street in Akure’s Oke-Aro neighborhood.
According to the police complaint, the ex-boxer’s wife refused to give him the television remote so he could change the channel.
On the fateful day, the ex-boxer, who is now a truck driver, apparently arrived home from a trip and wanted to watch a television show. He wanted his wife’s television remote, but she refused.
Out of anger, the former boxer landed punches on her face until she became unconscious. The neighbours in the vicinity reportedly intervened after the children of the couple called for help.
The matter was reported to leaders of the community, who then called the police, and Olapade was subsequently arrested.
