A man is being made to answer for his criminal
acts after he was alleged to have beaten up a
pregnant woman.
Adeleye Fayehun (aka Ade-Basket) a popular
political thug in Akure, the Ondo State capital, has
allegedly beaten up a pregnant woman.
The man has however been arrested by police for
assaulting the woman, a 44-year-old, identified as
Mrs. Adenike Adeolu.
DailyPost reports that Fayehun, who is also into
timber business was said to have beaten the
woman to a coma over timber transaction
business.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Femi

Fayehun, had been placed under custody for
interrogation.

the suspect had been taken by the police. He said
“The case has been reported and we have already
begun investigation into the matter”.
The husband of the victim, Olusanya Adeolu,
accompanied by sympathizers reported the case to
the police at the Akure Area Command shortly after
the incident.
Adeolu said the suspect, Ade-basket joined by
some hoodlums believed to be his boys battered
her wife to a state of comma. He alleged that the
culprit had been terrorising residents of Akure and
had been threatening to deal with his wife over
timber business, which according to him he
wanted to monopolize.
He said ”the issue got to this level when the
suspect (Fayehun) collected a sum of N800,000
from some forest agents which was illegal.
“It was this collection that warranted the timber’s
union meeting summoned at a hotel along Ondo
road and my wife decided to join them during the
session, being a member of the union.”
Speaking on her sick bed, Mrs. Adeolu narrated
how Fayehun stood up during the meeting after
raising issues and slapped her.
According to her, two other men who were his
accomplices also joined to maltreat her, to a point
that she became unconscious.
