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 Falolu Street, Surulere home.
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.
