The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has arrested 55-year-old Barr Ekeere Sunday Ebong, of plot 40 L line Ewet Housing estate.
SP ODIKO MacDON (ANIPR), POLICE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER, in the state disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
In a video that went viral, the suspect assaulted his wife, dehumanised her, leading to various grievous injuries.
According to the statement, “he is a known habitual perpetrator of violent acts against his wife over the years.”
Adding: “As an Agency saddled with the protection of lives and property and maintenance of law and order, we cannot allow Barrister Ebong to continue this flagrant abuse of human rights, hence, the Commissioner of Police, CP Olatoye Durosinmi ordered the arrest of the Suspect to prevent murder and breakdown of law and order.”
