"I cannot accept a situation where Yemi is enjoying her husband and mine at the same time thus denying me the opportunity to enjoy my husband," said Mrs. Ruka Amoha, a mother of three.
Ruka who claimed her husband has denied her sexual intercourse for some months decided to vent her anger on her neighbour, Mrs. Yemi Adelani. Ruka, who alleged that her husband, Wasiu Amoha, starved her of sex because he was enjoying an amorous affair with their neighbour (Yemi), descended on Yemi and bit off her nose, during an argument at their apartment.
The incident happened at NO. 13, Adealu Street, Dopemu, Lagos, southwest Nigeria. The victim, a mother of four kids, denied ever having any affair with Wasiu, Ruka's husband. She said the difference between she and Ruka is that she has been living peacefully with her husband unlike Ruka who was always fighting her husband and neighbours.
Doctors at the Lagos General Hospital, Orile Agege confirmed that Yemi's nose was badly damaged and she needs plastic surgery to survive.
Wasiu, the man at the centre of the storm confirmed to P.M.NEWS that he has been having constant quarrel with his wife, Ruka because of her behaviour. When asked why he was not having sex with his wife, he said it was because of her constant quarrel with him and he had no peace of mind to even think about sex.
Consequently, the police from Oke Odo Police Division have arrested Ruka and she was charged before an Ikeja Magistrate's Court sitting at Abule Egba for assault and inflicting injury on Yemi. The offence, the police said, is contrary to Section 244 of the Criminal Code, Laws of Lagos State of Nigeria, 2011. She pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mr. O.A. Komolafe granted her bail in the sum of N50,000 with two sureties in like sum; one of them must be her blood relation. The matter was adjourned till 24 August. Ruka was remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri pending when she will fulfil her bail condition.
