A middle-aged housewife, Shakirat Olanrewaju is obviously fed up with the antics of her husband as she pleads for divorce before a Mapo Customary Court, Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to Shakirat, her husband, Rasheed is fond of beating her black and blue before having sexual intercourse with her.
She said, “Anytime I don’t allow him to have sex with me, he has made it a routine to beat me thoroughly. In fact, I currently have many scars on my body due to the series of torture on me.
“Just three weeks ago, he beat me late at night and it took God’s special grace for me to be alive. I can’t stand for long as I used to do before due to the wounds he inflicted on me,” she recounted.
Her husband, however told the court that Rasheeda has become uncontrollable returning home whenever she chooses anytime she goes out.
“The last time that I truly beat her, Shakirat bit my manhood and I couldn’t bear it. It is true that I beat her occasionally, but I still love her,” he emphasised.
The presiding judge, Chief Henry Agbaje, however, asked the couple to go and explore reconciliation as he had observed that there was still some love between the duo.
