The Edo State Police Command on Wednesday said it has arrested a middle aged man for allegedly bathing his wife and four-year-old son with acid.
The command’s Public Relations Officer, DSP Princewill Osaigbovo, who confirmed the arrest to newsmen in Benin, however, refused to disclose his identity.
Osaigbovo said following petitions to the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Phillip Ogbadu, detectives swung into action and arrested the suspect in his hideout at Ehor in Uhumwonde Local Government Area of the state.
He said the suspect would be charged to court on conclusion of investigation.
