Owerri born Nollywood actor Rich Oganiru has been arrested and paraded by the homicide detention in Abuja after allegations flared up that he poisoned and killed his wife, a successful businesswoman in Abuja.
According to sources, Rich Oganiru met the woman he allegedly killed at a time he was facing serious financial problems.
According to the source, Oganiru was arrested following a petition by family and relations of the wife who claimed that she was poisoned by the actor who had allegedly perfected the act to do away with her in order to acquire her wealth said to be stupendous.
The wife was said to have been hospitalised for three months in an Abuja hospital with the Nollywood actor abandoning her until the last day she was to be discharged, before Oganiru came to the hospital to take her home.
On getting home, she died that same day. Police sources however told newsmen that though investigation into the death and alleged murder of the wife was still ongoing, Mr. Oganiru has been granted bail.
The police explained why the murder suspect was granted bail, they disclosed that though there was evidence to show the actor did not treat his wife well regarding her well being, there was nothing to show the actor had a hand in her death.
It was pointed out that both forensic and medical examinations were performed on the corpse of the deceased and that the posthumous examination showed she did not die as a result of poison.
The allegation was that Rich Oganiru murdered his wife through poison. Though our investigation showed he did not treat her like a wife deserves to be treated, there was nothing to show that she died or was killed by poison.
Agency reports had indicated that Oganiru who prides himself as one of the pioneering members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria and has starred in over 300 movies is under detention for complicity leading to the death of a very rich Abuja based multimillionaire businesswoman believed to be his wife.
The report alleged that the woman was not his first wife, as the first wife also died years back and that Oganiru was in a very poor state of life before he met the Abuja based multi-millionaire who transformed his life in a matter of months.
I don't know this fellow, but this reporting is very poor and distasteful, Nigeria Eye you are acting as judge and jury even as the Police have made it very clear they have no evidence yet of any fowl play. Most of your story is obviously based on hearsay from family members and gossip in the public arena.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of reporting deserves to be tested in court for defamation of character or even worse.
A highly disappointing news report.
