Speaking with newsmen while parading the suspect, the Police image maker in the state, Mr Victor Babayemi, said the suspect allegedly clubbed his wife to death after a disagreement.
Going by the statement of two of their children, the couple had been married for 20 years with three children, saying the rate at which Daramola hurriedly buried the wife gave room for suspicion that he had wanted to obstruct police investigation.
According to Babayemi, the suspect would be charged to court soon after the conclusion of the investigation.
When quizzed by journalists, Daramola denied ever clubbing his wife to death, saying the deceased had fellen sick a year before she finally died.
Police also paraded a 17-year old boy, Tomiwa Aladejebi, a student of Joseph Ayo Babalola University, whom he said was invited for a party by a friend he met on Facebook before being arrested for cultism while about to be initiated into Black Axe Fraternity.
The police image maker said the Police Commissioner in the state would soon meet with the Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi and the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Ayodeji Daramola over the modality for the granting of pardon to prisoners.
Babayemi added that though granting of pardon or release of prisoners on compassionate ground falls within the purview of the Governor and Chief Judge, he said “those granted pardon under this circumstance had been found to be the one perpetrating more evil.”
He regretted that the Nigeria Prison Service had not been well structured to be more effective in carrying out its statutory reformatory exercises on inmates, saying this accounted for the reasons why “some of them used to return to criminality after they were pardoned.”
