The popular saying that hell has no fury
than a woman scorned came to pass on Monday at the Surulere residence of a
banker, Bimbo Ajetumobi Daniju and her gospel singer husband Olalekan Idowu
Daniju when the woman allegedly took a knife and sliced her husband’s penis
during a fight.
Bimbo, staff of a new generation bank in Lagos was said to have accused her
husband of not taking care of her and their only child, Opeoluwa. The husband
disagreed and while fighting, Bimbo allegedly seized her husband’s penis and
sliced it with a knife. Bimbo denied using a knife but her fingernails to teach
her husband a lesson on how not to treat a woman.
The ugly incident happened on Monday at their 99, Falolu Street, Surulere,
Lagos, western Nigeria residence.
The matter was reported to the police at Surulere station and the woman was
arrested.
In her statement to the police, Bimbo denied using a knife on her husband’s
penis but her fingernails.
She was later released on bail when her husband insisted that he was not
interested in pressing charges against her.
Trouble started on 16 December when the banker who is a staff of the Agege
Motor Road branch of the bank, accused her husband who has just returned from
the church, of failing to provide for the needs of the family and leaving her to
do everything. She also accused him of being selfish and uncaring.
She reportedly shouted at Olalekan who was eating and when he didn’t answer,
poured his plate of food on his head. She took a bucket found in the room and
smashed it on his head. This resulted in fighting.
Their neighbours separated them and Olalekan went to his sister’s shop to
seek refuge but not done yet Bimbo allegedly followed him there and threatened
to stab him with a broken bottle.
Relatives and neighbours, it was gathered, intervened and pleaded with the
couple to give peace a chance but the couple continued to live like a cat and
mouse.
Madam Kehinde Daniju, sister of Olalekan told P.M.NEWS that when her
brother ran to her for help, she had to call their mother and other relatives to
settle the matter for them in the family house they lived.
She explained that Bimbo’s mother who also lived around the area came and
told her daughter not to accept reconciliation until Olalekan got a job. She
blamed the couple’s constant disagreement on Olalekan’s refusal to get a
job.
When she was leaving she took along the couple’s only son, Opeoluwa
Daniju.
This did not go down well with Olalekan who ordered his wife to go to her
mother’s house and bring his son before 8 p.m. or there would be trouble.
It was said that Bimbo left the house before 8 p.m and returned 30 minutes
later without Opeoluwa.
This resulted in another round of fighting during which neighbours and
relatives intervened again to separate them.
Narrating his story, Olalekan said he woke her up on Sunday to ask what she
would be wearing to the church so that he could iron it but she didn’t
reply.
“ I picked up my son’s cloth, ironed it, bathed him, had my bath and left
both of them at home and went to church. In between the service, I came home to
check on them and I met her cooking, I even joked that thank God there’s
something for them to eat.
“I went back to church and after the service I was I hungry I bought bread
and beans to eat and as I got inside, my boy told me he also wanted to eat bread
and I gave it to him.
When she learnt that I gave the boy bread, she said I didn’t bother to ask
her where she got money to prepare the rice that she ate and she started calling
me several unprintable names.
“I responded again and this time it was a huge mistake. She just came near
me, carried the plate of beans and pour the food on my head. She held my tie
shouting and cursing me at the same time. I managed to extricate myself from her
grip and ran out. She nearly suffocated me with the tie. She pursued me and
broke a plastic bucket on my head but I continued to run. She picked up a
bottle, broke it and threatened to stab me with it. This is a woman that is
about five month pregnant.
“I ran to my sister’s shop and tried to involve her but she stayed out of the
matter because they all know that she is rude, stubborn and violent. There was a
day she and her brothers came here with thugs from Ojuelegba they wanted to beat
up everybody here. She has chased me on the street with all sort of dangerous
things. I don’t really know what she wants to achieve with all this but that
day, her mum came, my mum’s sister came also and they tried to resolve the whole
thing.
“I saw my mum’s sister off and before I came back, my mother-in-law had taken
my son away and I was like we are trying to solve one issue and you are trying
to cause another problem. I told her that if by 8p.m. that evening my child is
not back home, she would not find it funny.
“I said that to make her know that I was serious but she said that there’s
nothing I can do. She left the house before 8p.m. and came back 30 minutes later
without my son. She took her bath and went to sleep I went to my sister and told
her I am going to my mother-in-law’s house to get my child but my family ask me
not to go there. At that time, I was tired, confused and hungry. I picked up my
laptop but while I was trying to watch a movie I fell asleep in the sitting
room.
“She woke me up at about 2a.m.. I was in a pair of boxer shorts. She told me
that it is either I kill her or she kills me and within seconds she had torn my
shorts. This was not surprising anyway as she had torn many of my clothes in the
past. She said ‘I am going to kill you this morning. You think I am joking’. The
whole thing happened so fast I just felt her hand in holding my penis, and the
next thing was blood flowing. I started shouting and crying for her to take me
to the hospital.
“She said ‘hospital ke, that’s where you are going to die today’ and that was
the last time I saw her. I don’t know how she left the house at that time of the
night. She changed her clothes, took a big bag and left, only for us to see her
two days later at the police station.
There and then, I decided I cannot continue living with her, she could just
decide to put poison in my food and kill me one day.
“It’s only a person that’s alive that can explain anything. She could just
poison me and cook up a story just like she did at the police station where she
told the police officers that I woke her up at 2a.m. and started hitting her,
almost beating her to death and the officers clapped for her for a lovely story.
The officers asked how come I did all that and she had the strength to run away
and she didn’t run to the hospital, that is, someone that was almost being
beaten to death should go to the hospital and there was no doctor’s report. The
person you injured brought his own medical report, we could see that the injury
was bandaged.
“The officers told her that there’s no mark on her to signify being beaten,
she replied that she didn’t go to any hospital because there was no mark on her
she also claimed that she didn’t use any knife but that she used her fingernails
to scratch my penis,” he said.
Efforts to speak with Bimbo at her mother’s home proved abortive as our
reporter was prevented from talking to her.
