There is so much wrong with the mindset of these couple as regards what marriage is all about. They need some serious spiritual mentoring and counseling. As you read their story, please say a prayer for them and other couples going through a turbulent marriage.
Thirty-one-year-old banker, Bimbo Daniju,
who was accused of using a kitchen knife to cut her husband’s penis at
Surulere area of Lagos, has refuted the accusation. She said she was compelled to hold her husband’s manhood to escape his beating.
Her husband, Lekan, who lost his job
with a Lagos insurance company in 2013, had accused his wife of three
years of using a kitchen knife to cut his penis after a disagreement
they had on December 16, 2013. The deep cut on Lekan’s manhood now threatens his procreational ability.
One would have thought the cause of disagreement between the couple had to do with infidelity. But when contacted,
Bimbo gave a version of the story which totally contrasted with the
allegation by Lekan, who said his wife had used a kitchen knife to cut
his penis while he slept after their disagreement. The banker, who sounded gentle over the phone, explained that her husband was being economical with the truth.
She said, “Please, kindly judge this by
yourself. As a pregnant woman, will I willingly attempt to cut off my
husband’s penis? I ordinarily would not have said anything. I did not
realise this will escalate to this stage. The case is being handled by
my lawyer at the moment. “My husband is not a hot-tempered man but
he gets angry once in a while. He lied that he washes my clothes. He
only did that once or twice when I was ill. We had a disagreement that
day and he beat me up. My mother came to the house and took away our
son.
“Without telling anybody, I went to my
hospital and was treated. I did not tell him. But when I got home, he
continued to harass me. He said I must ensure his son was returned to
the house. “I was so tired and I went to sleep. But
in the middle of the night, he woke me up and asked me again to produce
his son. We started fighting and he was beating me. In order to escape
his beating, I had to hold his penis. I wanted him to leave me alone. I
held on to it until I had a chance to escape.” Bimbo said it was a lie that he chased Lekan down the street or dropped his certificate on the street during a fight. “Please ask him, which certificate is he
even talking about? When I married my husband, he told me he graduated
from the Ogun State University, Ago-Iwoye, but that he had an accident
some time ago, in which his certificates were burnt,” she said.
She said when she went to the police
station after their last fight, the officer who heard their case at the
station said the wound looked like a knife wound, saying that was why
Lekan changed his story that she used knife on him. Bimbo insisted she loved her husband and never for once used the fact that he did not have a job to react to him at home. “When I married him, he did not have a job. He said he was working on a CD and all the money I made, I spent on him.”
