Mr. Bayo Awosanya, who was initially pleading with his wife to save his political career by accepting compensations and talking the domestic assault over, has decided to tell lies in court, after all.

Mr. Bayo Awosanya said in court that the wife “fell from the stairs, all by herself.” And in a manner that revealed a new conspiracy to turndown justice in favor of him, the magistrate nullified the photo evidence of the attack, and asked for provision of witnesses to testify.
The magistrate in this case, O.O. Ojo, also threatened the complainant to close the case, just as families of Mr. Bayo Awosanya had threatened her to do.
Relatives of the victim, Mrs. Victoria Awosanya, said they were “not surprised” at the sudden turn of events. Few days to court date, her relatives said, the in-laws, including Bayo Awosanya's father, had promised “she would regret the outcome” they had prepared for her at court.

A family source speaking to SaharaReporters on the condition of anonymity, said the event in court was “confirmation of the in-law's threat.” The magistrate refused key evidence, threatening to throw out the case should she not provide (the) persons who witnessed the torture.
Their only possible witness, Mr. Bayo's gatekeeper, who rescued the wife from the politician on day of the torture, has suddenly been replaced by him, just a few days to attending court.
The replacement witness of his gate keeper is suspected to be part of a “gimmick to smooth-out” a plan to hide key evidence, and escape justice.
The victim had said Mr. Bayo Awosanya is in the habit of beating women, a behavior she said she no longer could cope with. She said it was a similar incident that made Mr. Bayo Awosanya's previous women to leave him. She said she thought he would change when she finally agreed to marry him.
Sources who know about the activities of Mr. Bayo Awosanya, had said he has been working to ensure his wife “regrets not accepting compensation for the assault.” One source suggested he must have “reached out to the magistrate” in the case to compromise justice, and by doing so, to frustrate the case.
Magistrate O.O. Ojo adjourned the case to the June 21st , by when he expects the complainant to have either found a witness, or opt out of the case altogether.
