Ondo State Police Command spokesperson, SP Funmilayo Odunlami, disclosed this in a statement shared on the command’s X account on Wednesday.
According to the statement, the incident occurred on August 23, when Joseph visited his lover’s home and met another man, who was also reportedly in a relationship with the same woman.
