‘My Landlord Beat Me To Pulp For Refusing His Love Advances’ – Mother Of Three

I Neither Beat Her Nor Asked Her Out – Lordlord

A woman, Mrs Comfort Giwa, said she got the beating of her life when her landlord, Mr Adisa Lukman, openly brutalised her for allegedly turning down his love advances.

The incident, according to Comfort, happened on February 9, 2020, while she was talking to a friend outside their residence at 3, Idiatu Kilani Street in the Fagba area of New Oko Oba, Agege, Lagos.

She said she was mercilessly beaten by the landlord during which she sustained varying degrees of injury on several parts of her body, including a wound on her arm.

Nation reports that she claimed that the man had made passes at her, which she rejected on several occasions, after which he threatened to deal with her.

‘’I started having issues with our landlord(Adisa), shortly after we moved into his house three years ago when he made several passes at me. He said he liked me and that he would like to date me but I rebuffed him knowing full well that I am a married woman living with my husband in his house.

‘’He was persistent in asking me out and at a point, I reported him to my husband. He then threatened that he would deal with me for spawning him. He has his own wife, yet, he had been disturbing, asking me to date him.

‘’Last night, I was seated beside one of my friends outside our residence when a woman living near our house told me that my landlord said my daughter was fond of harassing her own daughter. I told the woman that my daughter was innocent of the allegations and that God would expose whoever is behind the false allegations.

“Suddenly, my landlord rushed to where I was engaging the woman and attacked me for no just cause. He beat me to pulp. He held me down, while he called on one of his friends, who joined him to further brutalise me. The beating was so much that I sustained injuries on my body. There’s a deep cut on one my arms, as I speak. I was rushed to a hospital and placed on admission, while my husband reported the incident to the police at Oko-Oba Division.

‘’However, nothing came out of the police intervention because our landlord sought the help of some community leaders, who used their ‘connection’ with the police to deny me justice.’’

Comfort’s husband, David Giwa, said he was planning to move out of the building before his landlord brutalised his wife for refusing his love advances.

‘’My wife had told me that our landlord was fond of peeping through the bathroom door to look at her naked body whenever she is having her bath. After he was cautioned, I figured out that his attitude was a signal to leave his house and I started saving money to get another accommodation in order to save my wife and children from the incessant harassment by my landlord.

‘’I was then shocked when my landlord and his associates descended on my wife and brutalised her, to the extent that she sustained injuries. She was placed on admission in a hospital for some days and she is still nursing wounds from the attack, as we speak.

‘’After I visited my wife in hospital, I made a report on the incident at Oko-Oba Police Division, but nothing came out of it because my landlord and some community leaders used their ‘connection’ to circumvent justice.’’

Adisa, however, denied the woman’s allegation that he(landlord) asked her out. He also denied inflicting injuries on her. He said the police had investigated the matter and exonerated him of alny wrongdoing.

The embattled landlord told The Nation on telephone that Comfort injured herself when she made a fruitless attempt to hit him with one of her hands.

‘’Police have investigated the matter and found out that it was not true. Comfort’s daughter and another girl whose mother lives in the neighborhood ganged up to harass my daughter on her way to school. I warned her and the other woman to reprimand their daughters and she suddenly held my dress and attacked me.

‘’ I did not beat her. The wounds on her hand were as a result of the attack she launched on me. She wanted to hit me with her hands but I dodged and she landed one of the hands on a plank used to erect a shop extension at the scene.’’

He added, ‘’ I gave his husband a quit notice months ago and he tore the notice in my presence; even the community leaders.

It is true, but I feed him, pay our children’s fees from the proceeds —Wife

GRADE A Customary Court, Court 2, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, has given judgment on a divorce suit brought before it by a man, Ridwan, against his wife, Bosede, whom he accused of being defiant and promiscuous.

He added that she later took to threatening his life.

Ridwan stated that Bosede neglected him and their children and cared less about their welfare.

He also said that his wife was not only stubborn but also defiant.

According to Ridwan, Bosede never listened to his counsel while she flouted his orders at will.

The plaintiff said that the defendant ran a hotel business against his will and this later had a negative influence on their son.

Ridwan added that Bosede also hopped from bed to bed.

The plaintiff stated that the defendant was presently having an affair with one of his close friends.

Ridwan told the court that Bosede took to threatening his life after he demanded the documents of his landed property in her possession.

Ridwan told the court that he was tired of his wife’s recalcitrant and immoral behaviour and thus pleaded for divorce.

The plaintiff also pleaded for their children’s custody.

Ridwan, in addition, requested an order restraining his wife from threatening and interfering with his private life.

Bosede agreed to divorce but refused that her husband had custody of their children.

The defendant did not also deny the accusation of infidelity laid against her by her husband.

Bosede rather stated that she used the proceeds from her immoral act to feed her family and pay their children’s school fees.

Ridwan, in his testimony, said, “My Lord, I came to court today because I want my wife out of my life.

“Bosede and I met in 2000, and we started living together.

“We carried out no marital rites, and I did not pay her bride price.

“My wife constantly neglected me and failed to look after my welfare.

“She extended this attitude to our children when we started having them.

“Our children constantly looked unfed and unkempt.

“Bosede is stubborn and always loves to have her way.

“She, therefore, refuses to listen to my advice.

“My wife is also recalcitrant. She refuses that I had a say in our home and flouts my orders at will.

“I no longer trust my wife because she is promiscuous.

“Bosede hops from bed to bed and she is presently sleeping with one of my close friends.

“This is one of the reasons I want her out of my house. A wife who does this can kill.

“My wife runs a hotel against my will and this unfortunately is having a negative influence on our children. He suddenly started having erotic feelings towards the opposite sex while he also took to smoking cigarettes.

“My wife, of recent, started fighting me over my property.

“She has the documents of my landed property in her possession, and she has refused to release them.

“She presently stays in my two-bedroom bungalow.

“I pray this honourable court to order my wife to vacate my house.

“I also plead for our children’s custody.

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

Bosede in her response said, “My lord, I am also tired of my husband. I agree that the court rules that we go our different ways.

“He did not pay a dime as my bride price. I moved in with him, and we started living together as husband and wife.

“I am surprised that my husband could accuse me of infidelity.

“I feed him and our children and also attend to other needs in the home from the money I make from this trade.

“He once took our children to his village to stay with his mother.

“These children were not enrolled in school.

“I brought them back to the city and took up the challenge of paying their fees.

“He still appealed to me last week to pay for the collection of our son’s JSS3 Leaving Certificate.

“My lord, I do not agree that my husband have custody of our children because I have been the one fending for them all these years.”

Giving her judgment after she had heard both parties, the court president, Mrs O.E Owoseni, stated that there was no marriage to be dissolved because no Customary marriage held between both parties and no bride price was paid.
