The Lagos State High Court on Friday sentenced Lekan Shonde, a depot worker to death by hanging for killing his wife, Ronke.

Justice Josephine Oyefeso  delivered the judgement as Lekan was found guilty of the murder of his banker wife in 2016.

It was alleged that  Lekan  beat his wife to death at their home in the Egbeda-Idimu area of Lagos State.

He was alleged to have locked the door on the dead wife and their two children before the incident was discovered by a housekeeper and later reported to the police.

Lekan had accused Ronke of sleeping with one Kayode, the general manager of a publishing company.
