Ogun State Police Command said, yesterday, it had detained the first wife of the late Aliu Adeoye, who died with his second wife, and three children, on Friday, in Temidire community, Sabo area of Abeokuta.
Adeoye, said to be a surveyor, died, alongside other victims, in his six-room bungalow at 3, Ireti Akinbode Street, Temidire, of suspected poisonous gaseous substance.
The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi, disclosed that the first wife was currently being kept in police custody for two reasons.
“The mob that gathered at the community after the incident wanted to lynch her. Again, she was accused of being the one who sprayed the gaseous substance into the room, where the victims died,” Adejobi said.
“We cannot ascertain the cause of death for now. There are allegations here and there but the police will do what is needed to be done . The post-mortem examination will be carried out on the corpses, that will tell us the cause of death”.

He, however, said the case had been transferred to the Department of Criminal Investigation.
We gathered that some neighbours of the deceased had wanted to lynch the first wife on Friday, who they suspected was responsible for spraying the room with the poisonous substance, but she was rescued by policemen from the nearby Ilupeju Divisional Headquarters.
