The Ondo State Police Command has arrested a 56-year-old ex-middleweight boxer and truck driver, identified has Moses Olapade, for reportedly punching his wife, Tinuke, to a coma.

His arrest was confirmed by the State’s Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Tee-Leo Ikoro.

According to report, Olapade punched his wife while they were arguing over a television remote in Oke-Aro Community in Akure.

It was also gathered that Olapade had wanted to watch a programme on the television, but his wife refused to hand him the remote to tune in to his preferred channel, hence the argument that led Olapade to throw punches on the wife which sent her into a coma.

Tinuke was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was resuscitated, while matter was reported to the community leaders who called on men of the Nigeria Police Force.
