Man Allegedly Kills Wife at River Valley Estate, Lagos; Suspect on the Run

A tragic incident has been reported at River Valley Estate in Lagos, where a man identified as Ayoola Ayanwale is alleged to have brutally attacked and killed his wife, Ganiyat Ayoola, in their home.

According to multiple sources familiar with the incident, the suspect allegedly carried out the violent attack in the presence of their children before fleeing the scene. He is said to have inflicted multiple stab wounds on the woman, including injuries to her chest and other parts of her body, which reportedly led to severe blood loss.

Neighbours in the area claim the deceased had endured prolonged physical abuse in the marriage. On the day of the incident, residents reportedly heard her cries for help but were unable to intervene in time.

During the attack, the couple’s 13-year-old daughter allegedly witnessed her mother’s final moments and ran out of the house screaming for help, drawing attention to the unfolding tragedy.

Ganiyat Ayoola was rushed to a nearby hospital but was later confirmed dead. Shockingly, sources further alleged that after she was taken away, the suspect returned to the house, cleaned up bloodstains and other evidence, packed his belongings, and then went into hiding.

Although the Lagos State Police Command has not yet released an official statement on the matter, the circumstances surrounding the incident have raised suspicions of premeditation among members of the public.

The family of the deceased is now appealing to anyone with useful information regarding the whereabouts of the suspect to contact law enforcement authorities, urging that justice be served.

Investigations are said to be ongoing.
