He said the victim was brought to the station by some sympathisers while she was bleeding from the injuries allegedly inflicted by the suspect.
The spokesperson said the victim told the police at the counter all that happened to her.
According to Hundeyin, the victim said that at about 2.00 p.m. on Thursday, while she was going to her shop around Bako Estate, at Weighbridge Ajegunle, her ex-husband, Olamilekan Morekeji, stopped her and inquired about their children.
Her response angered him so he hit her on the head with a big stone.
The suspect was arrested and is now in custody.
Meanwhile, the stones used to inflict injuries on the victim were recovered as exhibit.
