Nigerian
wrestling champion, Power Uti has been arrested following the
controversial death of his wife, Toyin in their Ilupeju Lagos home.
Confirming the story, Police Public Relations Officer, Famous Cole
said that Power Uti, has been remanded at the Ilupeju Police station and
would be transferred to the Criminal Investigative Department, Panti in
Lagos today.
It was gathered that the body of the deceased was first discovered by
Power Uti on Monday morning, who, instead of taking her to the
hospital, went to a church to seek spiritual help.
The
deceased was 38 years old and a mother of four children who are under
the ages of nine. She was unemployed and had been married for 10 years
until her demise.
Her body has been deposited at the Isolo general hospital, while her
four children have been placed under the care of her mother.
It was learnt last night from multiple sources that the death has
caused great shock in the Ilupeju area, as Power Uti is a popular
personality, given his sporting prowess.
