Lagos Wife Beats 39-Year-Old Husband To Pulp Over Refusal To Divorce Her

A 39-year-old man, Niyi Adeyemo, has cried out after his wife, Jumoke Bamgbola, 38, beat him to a pulp during a disagreement at their residence in Ikosi-Ketu area of Lagos State.

Adeyemo, who is currently receiving treatment in a hospital bed, disclosed that the trouble in his marriage started after his aged mother came to visit him and she objected saying she don’t want relatives around.

According to reports, the alleged assault had happened on Monday, May 30.

He claimed that his wife’s demand for a divorce became intense when she returned from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in January 2022.

He said, “Bamgbola stormed my house on May 30, 2022, around 11 am, and asked me why I had not been picking her lawyer’s phone calls.

“After I refused to respond, she said that I must talk to her because she came prepared for me.

“I tried walking away, but my wife dragged me back, and tore my native attire specially sewn for my late mum’s burial, and became violent.

“She started throwing punches at me all over my body, especially on my legs because she is aware of my health condition.

“She tossed me around the house, and kept saying that she would make sure I was admitted to a hospital.

“She also dragged my private parts and bit my hands as I tried to prevent her from biting my manhood.

“I deliberately stopped myself from hitting my wife like I was advised.

“I called her dad afterwards, and put the phone on speaker, her dad called out her name during the conversation, but she refused to respond or listen to him.

“My wife’s demand for a divorce became intense when she arrived from Dubai early this year.

“While she was in Dubai, we resolved our differences through video calls.

“However, she suddenly changed and began comparing me with another man she met over there.

“My wife came back in January 2022 and requested to lodge at a hotel in the Lekki area of Lagos so as to self isolate because of Covid-19 to avoid virus infection on our son.

“Apparently, she came back to Nigeria with a boyfriend with whom she had arranged to spend the night in the hotel.

“I called her several times, but she refused to receive my calls.

“She once called me, and said that our child is the only bond between us.

“She later threatened to kill me with her bare hands if I didn’t give her a divorce because her boyfriend said that he could not marry someone who was married with a child.

“The matter has been reported at the Ketu police station,” he added.

In response, Bamgbola stated that she filed for a divorce and her husband was served, but he refused to honour the court invite, The Punch reports.

She said, “I called my husband after a visit to see the lawyer, and he complained that my husband had not been picking up his calls or from my mum as well.

“He kept pleading with me that he did not want a divorce.

“He admitted that he allowed a third party in our marriage, and apologized.

“Afterwards, the lawyer told me that I had to see my husband, and make him understand what I wanted because of our only child.

“So, I went to his place, and met another lady with him in the kitchen.

“I asked him why he refused to pick the lawyer’s calls, and why he was telling people that he gave me N1.5m to rent an apartment, but he denied it.

“I actually visited to inform him that the court had fixed June 28, 2022, for our divorce case, and discuss the matter with him if we could settle the dispute amicably.

“He usually beat me, but I always tried not to hit him back because he is a sickle cell patient.

“Apparently, it resulted in an argument, as I was also admitted to a hospital at the Ijoko area because I had a swollen face and bruises all over my body and could hardly talk.

“I was invited to Ketu police station on Tuesday, May 31, about how my husband had filed a case of assault against me.

“I denied the allegation, and told the police operatives that I would visit the station as soon as I get better,” she added.

The state police public relations officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident, however, he is yet to say anything concerning the case.

 

Women Affairs Minister, Tallen, Gets UN Appointment

 

Nigerian politician and incumbent Minister of Women Affairs, Pauline Tallen, has been appointed by the United Nations to head a Global Committee on Prevention of Genocide and Atrocity from the perspective of women.
Tallen’s appointment was confirmed in Abuja today by the Special Adviser to the UN Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide, Ms Alice Nderitu, Naija News understands.

She said, “there are situations where there is clear intent to destroy whole ethnic, racial and religious communities.

“The question we are asking is, what should be the solution against that intent? What should we do if we see that violence that is happening that bears that kind of character?”

Nderitu said her coming was to seek the minister’s leadership because, in July, the organization would be convening very eminent women from around the world “who work in peace building; women who have been signatories to peace agreements, whose character can be seen in their countries constitutions, decisions that have been made in ending the war.

“In Italy, we will sit with these women and we will draw up a framework of analysis for the prevention of such atrocities,” Nderitu noted.

She added that the committee was expected to articulate the perspectives of women on peacebuilding and submit them to the Office of the UN Secretary-General, to be presented before the General Assembly.

She narrated further that the document would inform the UN Policy on peace building and prevention of atrocity crimes that may lead to genocide, stressing also the importance of women’s participation in decision-making processes, especially in the area of peace and conflict resolutions to guarantee its success and impact.

In her remarks after being informed of the development, Tallen thanked the UN for the consideration to provide leadership for the global assignment.

She gave the assurance that Nigerian women would play their roles in ensuring peace across the world, adding that “women are calling for peace and we must give peace a chance.

Tallen said: “I listened so carefully to your request and I feel so moved.

“On behalf of Nigerian women, I say thank you for the honour and for having found me worthy to lead other African women leaders to work and find solutions to issues affecting genocide and all forms of violence within our region and the world at large.”

Sharing a photo of the duo, Pero Adeniyi described 2face as her daughter’s number one cheerleader and loudest track dad.

2face also took to his Instagram story to share adorable moments with his three kids whom he had with Pero Adeniyi.

Many Feared Dead In Port Harcourt Church Stampede

 

Over 20 people are feared dead just before the commencement of a programme organised by a new generation church in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

Though, the church known as ‘Kings Assembly’ is located in the GRA axis of the state capital, the programme was at the Polo Club in the to accomodate the usual large congregation

 

A witness stated that the incident occurred during the church’s gift and food items distribution to celebrate its fourth anniversary.

According to the source, people arrived since Friday while others arrived as early as 6.30am this morning for an event that was supposed to start by 9am.

He said some persons who were supposed to have a sports session arrived at about 8am and opened the small gate which gave the surging crowd an opportunity to force their way in, resulting in the stampede.

“The incident happened this morning. The church invited people for it’s fourth edition of food and gift items distribution. Some came since Friday while many others came as early as 6.30am on Saturday.

“Those who were engaged in sporting activities opened the small gate and the surging crowd wanted to gain access through the small gate and got stampeded. I counted about 21 one dead bodies on the ground,” he said.

He said many victims had been taken to an undisclosed hospital in Port Harcourt.

Yellow turtle predicted who will win the Champions League

 

Yellow, a thirty year old turtle that fifteen years ago arrived at the Sea Life Aquarium in Benalmádena (Málaga) from the Cayman Islands, has predicted that Liverpool will win the Champions League final against Real Madrid today in Paris.

The keepers of this animal have prepared two containers about two meters apart with a broccoli leaf in each one – which represented the rivals in this final – and, when it was lowered into the pond where the turtle was, it went to its left side, where there was the image of the English team.

Paul the octopus
The turtle aspires to become the best student of other visionary animals, such as Paul the octopus, who rose to fame in 2010 after correctly predicting eight matches of the 2010 World Cup, including Spain’s victory over the Netherlands in the Final played in Johannesburg (South Africa) on July 11.

The marketing director of Sea Life Benalmádena, María Morondo, pointed out that Yellow, who weighs more than 100 kilos, is “the star of the Jurassic tunnel” and many visitors ask about him, although she hopes that on this occasion the animal is wrong so that the Spanish team led by Carlo Ancelotti wins.

The choice of Yellow, who has prowled for several minutes both broccoli leaves without opting for any of them in a clear sign that it will be a hotly contested final, has left the aquarium workers upset, who expected the turtle to choose the food with the image of Real Madrid.

Liverpool goes for revenge
Real Madrid and Liverpool meet again in the Champions League Final, as happened in 2018, when the Spanish team defeated the English side 3-1 with two goals from Gareth Bale and one from Karim Benzema, while Liverpool’s goal was scored by Sadio Mané.
