Alleged wife-killer, Lekan Shonde, has commenced a hunger strike while at the homicide section of the Lagos State Police Command, Panti, Yaba, where he is being detained, Lagos Metro has reliably gathered.The Police, also on Wednesday, disclosed that decision had not been taken on whether the alleged lover of the deceased wife of Lekan, Ronke, should be summoned for questioning.

The police stated that once there was a reason to do so, his reported disappearance from public view and absence from his Ikeja publishing office, would not deter them from questioning him.

The police also maintained that there had not been any plan as of Wednesday afternoon to invite or arrest Oluokun for the alleged offence.

Lekan has consistently alleged that Kayode Oluokun was illicitly engaged with his wife, culminating in turbulent marital life.

Investigations by Lagos Metro also revealed that Oluokun had not only gone underground in Lagos but also remained silent on the allegation against him.

It was also gathered that, since Monday, when his name was mentioned as the alleged lover of the deceased, he has failed to show up at the Ikeja office of the publishing company, where he is a District Manager.

Members of staff of the Lagos based publishing company could, however, not ascertain if Oluokun had been reporting at the Abuja office of the publishing company.

The news of Ronke’s death was blown open over the weekend, after the Shondes’ nanny raised the alarm, following the discovery of her corpse at their Egbeda home.

The image maker in charge of the Lagos State police command, Dolapo Badmos, while reacting to the claims that police in the state were planning to arrest the alleged lover, said that it was not so .

Police sources at the State CID, Panti told Lagos Metro that Lekan Shonde, who has been on hunger strike, since he was transferred there, had insisted that his deceased wife was having an affair with Oluokun and that he did not kill his wife.
