Confession time: Sex starvation led me into rape, man tells court

A middle-aged father, Ojo Adewole, on Wednesday told an Ikole Customary Court in Ekiti that he was involved in rape because his wife starved him of sex.

Adewole, who made this known when he testified in a divorce petition by his wife, Omotayo,35, admitted being involved in a rape case but blamed it on the wife.

He said, “Your honour, my wife had always starved me of sex. Instead of taking care of me and the house, she went about partying and making friends.

“My wife is simply wayward and the family had always supported her deeds.

“Your honour, I may not have the moral justification to ask for the preservation of the marriage, but I am praying the court to reduce my monthly financial obligation to my children to N5,000.”

“My prayer for the slashing of the upkeep money hinges on the fact that I have just been released from detention and I do not have any tangible source of livelihood at the moment.’’

My wife always beats me, man tells court

A 46-year-old man, Ogah Alexander, has told a Mararaba Upper Area Court that his wife, Helen, beats him because he is physically challenged.

He urged the court to dissolve his 13-year-old marriage which was blessed with four children, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.

He said, “My wife beats and disrespects me because I am deformed in my hand.”

The petitioner said he once bought a car for his wife but she gave the car to her pastor without his knowledge or consent.

“I came back from work one day and she told me that the pastor had an accident with the car and when I confronted her that I did not give the car to the pastor, she slapped me.

“I received the beating of my life from her to the extent that she grabbed my private parts and tried to kill me,” Alexander added.

He also told the court that it had been over a year since he had sex with his wife because of the injury he sustained when she grabbed his private parts.

Helen, however, was not in court in spite of the court’s summons on her.

The presiding judge, Ibrahim Shekaru, adjourned the case till September 2, 2016.
