Policemen attached to the Owutu Police station have charged a middle age man, Ajisafe Solomon and his sister Ajayi Ayomide before an Ikorodu Magistrate court over allegation of wife battering and sodomy. The accused were arraigned on a three count charge bordering on inflicting bodily harm and conspiracy to commit sodomy. According to the police, the accused conspired and inflicted grave bodily harm on Solomon’s wife Opeyemi Amuda 25 by inserting a bottle of Turbor beer and pepper in the victim’s vagina which made her to run mad. The charge further read that the accused used cane to inflict severe cut on the victim’s body
thereby committing assault which contravenes Section 409 of Lagos State. Amuda has since gone nuts following the severe beating she received from her husband and her sister in-law. It was gathered that the incident happened at number 9 Aminu Toyin Street Igbo-Olumo on June 19th when Amuda’s husband Solomon Ajisafe reprimanded her for allegedly insulting his mother. According to the residents, Solomon with his siblings allegedly poured ground pepper and inserted a Tubor beer bottle in Amuda’s private part over allegation that she committed adultery and had the effrontery to fight her mother-in-law. Deacon Obatungashe Adebayo, the Corodinator of Women Arise Initiative at Igbo Olumo stated that the accused will be made to face the full wrath of the law. “This is a very sad development. It is just like the case of the Ejigbo sodomy and we wonder why they will go this far to torture somebody. I saw the victim and she is in a very bad shape. She has ran mad. She is defecting and urinating on herself. When she was brought to the court, she could not say any sensible word and she defecated all over her body. We are going to follow this case as Dr. Joe-Oke Odumakin our President has taken interest in the case and she has condemned this ugly act. We will ensure that others involved in treating this woman like an animal will be made to face the full wrath of the law”, he said. It was gathered that the police has began a manhunt for Solomon’s mother said to be a prophetess in a white garment church as her whereabouts is not known. The Magistrate Mrs Afeez remanded the accused in prison and ordered that the victim be taken to a rehabilitation centre for three months. The case was adjourned to July 15th 2015.
