A Nigerian wrestling champion, Power Uti, has been arrested by the police following the controversial death of his wife in their Ilupeju residence in Lagos.

Confirming the story on Wednesday, Police Public Relations Officer, Famous Cole hinted that Power Uti, has been remanded at the Ilupeju Police station & would be transferred to the Criminal Investigative Department, Panti in Lagos today.

It was gathered that the body of the deceased was first discovered by Power Uti on Monday morning, who, rather than take her to the hospital, went to a church to seek spiritual help.

The deceased was 38 years old & a mother of 4 children who are under the ages of 9.

She was unemployed & had been married for ten years until her demise.

Her body has been deposited at the Isolo general hospital, while her 4 children have been placed under the care of her mother,.

It was learnt last night from different sources that the death has caused great shock in the Ilupeju area, as Power Uti is a popular personality, given his sporting aptitude.
