The wife was said to have been hospitalised for three months for an undisclosed ailment 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.
