…He has denied me sex for 3 yrs —Wife

Oyo State has adjourned for judgment a divorce matter brought before it by a man, Akinwale against his wife, Olabisi, whom he accused of lack of love, care, and domestic violence.

Akinwale told the court during his testimony that he came to court because he could no longer tolerate his wife’s atrocities.

According to the plaintiff, the defendant refused to take up her responsibilities in the home.

Akinwale alleged that Olabisi refused to fetch water, cook or clean the house.

He also said that she was violent and destructive.

The plaintiff explained that defendant fought him on a regular basis, adding that she tore his clothes, destroyed his phone, bit him and pulled his scrotum.

Akinwale, therefore prayed for the dissolution of their marriage and further requested an order restraining his wife from threatening and interfering with his private life.

He also pleaded for their children’s custody.

Olabisi refused that their marriage be dissolved and that her husband had custody of their children.

Akinwale in his evidence said, “My wife moved in with me after we held an introduction ceremony.

“Olabisi became rebellious from the outset of our union.

“She daily shirked her responsibilities in the home and left me with no other option than to take up her role.

“I carry out the domestic chores in our home on a daily basis because my wife refused to fetch water, cook or clean the house.

“My wife rather than being remorseful took to fighting me any time I complained about her irresponsible acts.

“Olabisi took pleasure in fighting me and tearing my clothes to shreds.

“She will sometimes bite me during a fight and pull my scrotum thus leaving me in pain.

“My wife destroyed my phone by hitting it on a wall.

“Of recent, she took to threatening to kill me.

“My lord, I am afraid that my wife could make real her threat which was the reason I came to court.

“I earnestly pray the court to end our relationship and grant me custody of our children.

“I further request an order restraining her from harrassing, threatening and interfering with my private life.”

Olabisi in her testimony said: “My husband is wicked and inhumane. He is aware of the state of my health, yet he forces me to do strenuous jobs contrary to the doctor’s advice.

“I had four of our children through cesarean operation, but unfortunately only two survived.

“The doctor specifically told me not to fetch water and do some other things in the house.

“My husband had since neglected me and cared less about our children’s welfare. He has also denied me sex for about two years.”

The president of the court, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, after she had heard both parties adjourned the case.

Residents of the Itaapa community in Atakumosa-East Local Government Area of Osun State on Wednesday stormed the Amotekun command headquarters protesting alleged indiscriminate arrest and detention of leaders of the town.

The protesters bearing placards with inscriptions such as “Embarrassment, Amotekun De-robed our chiefs”, “Osun Amotekun has become a political tool”, Amotekun supporting criminals”, among, urged the Inspector General of Police to look into the situation.

Addressing newsmen at the protest scene, the leader of the protesters, Chief Olusegun Owoeye said the community has been deserted following the indiscriminate arrest and detention of residents by Amotekun operatives.

It is unfortunate that Amotekun subjected itself to the whims and caprices of criminals terrorising our community over time. It is on record that some criminals already arrested by the police and others on wanted list for terrorising the community have now turn around using the community through PDP leaders to hunt innocent residents of Itaapa.

After the terror acts of the said criminals, including Bode Itaapa in police custody, the community was advised to form a vigilante group by the police to watch over itself.

Those under the said vigilante, having prevented criminals from extorting and harassing residents are now being arrested by the police. Ten community leaders are also in their custody for over five days now.

“We demand their release and called on the Inspector General of Police to order proper investigation into the present situation in the community”, he said.

Reacting, Osun Amotekun Corps Commandant Adekunle Omoyele, said those arrested by Amotekun were being investigated for criminal activities, adding that the corps has laid down procedure for arrest and investigation which it followed to the letter in the case at hand.

We arrested suspects with pump action riple, who claimed to be members of vigilante in the State. The people they mentioned during investigation were also arrested and being investigated. There is no need to drag politics into a pure criminal issues. We will conduct thorough investigation into the matter and ensure that Justice is dispensed in the case”, he said.
