But for the timely intervention of men of the Nigeria Police Force, Ajao Estate division, a Lagos-based businessman, Solomon Iwuchukwu, would have probably killed his beautiful wife whose pregnancy is already eight-months old, because of sex.
His excuse: Mr. Iwuchukwu said since he returned from abroad, his...
pregnant wife had refused to have sex with him. He told the police that she locks her room and always refuse him entry and "she doesn’t come into my room to sleep, either."
54-year old Iwuchukwu who hails from Mbaise in Imo State, became a guest of the police when he forced his way into his wife's room, grad her on the neck and tried to have his way with the pregnant woman by force. The policemen, acting on a tip off, raced to their house and stopped the husband before things could go out of control.
The shocked woman, identified as Ifeoma, said since her husband lost some money in a bad business he has turned her into a punching bag, despite her condition. The 33-year old woman (pictured above), who told the police that she's an orphan, denied starving him of sex. She said appeals by her relations to her husband to stop beating her fell on deaf ears.
Ifeoma however wondered why her husband would still be having sex with her at this advanced stage of her pregnancy, when actually he knew her medical history of losing pregnancies before delivery. “He doesn’t treat me as his wife at all and believes that I am his property to be used at will,” she cried.
Meanwhile, a non-governmental organisation, International Charitable Initiative for Girl-child and Women Foundation has stepped into her case. The president of the Foundation, Barrister Helen Ibeji, described the action of the husband who is detained at at the station as inhuman and barbaric.
“A man should treat his wife with respect and dignity,” she stressed. Barr. Helen said her foundation decided to intervene in the matter in order to protect the woman and the unborn child.
