A nursing mother, Mrs Glory Ojuala, has narrated how her
husband, Alex Ojuala, drugged her for three days in order to have s*x
with her a few days after she was delivered of a baby at her matrimonial
home in Lagos State, western Nigeria.
The mother of three children made the shocking revelation at Ejigbo
Customary Court in Lagos State on Monday while testifying before the
court following a petition she filed before the court for dissolution of
their 15-year marriage.
Glory Ojuala drugged by husband
The 30-year old housewife claimed that two days after she gave birth
to their child, her husband started pestering her for s*x in the
presence of her mother, who was on a visit.
Glory told the court that she denied her husband s*x because she was
still recovering from pangs childbirth and was chest feeding, but he
accused her of having extramarital affairs and cut the family’s daily
feeding allowance to N100 to punish her.
Glory alleged that she did not know that her husband had an ulterior
motive when she gave her a soft drink while she was eating on the day
her husband drugged her.
Alex Ojuala accused of drugging wife for s*x
The nursing mother alleged that after she took the soft drink, she
couldn’t explain what happened afterwards until she was revived in a
hosptial three days later.
She said that she later knew that her husband drugged her to have s*x
with her when he confessed that he did so because she was denying him
s*x and was sleeping with other men.
She told the court that after the incident she moved out of his house
and since then they have been living separately, while her husband
abandoned their children for her to take care of them alone.
The embittered woman had petitioned the court seeking for the
dissolution of their 15-year marriage on the grounds that her husband
was threatening her life, did not take care of her and their children
and beat her, adding that she does not love him anymore.
Glory narrated in court how Alex Ojuala, an indigene of Edo State,
came to her village in Eket in Akwa Ibom State and married her at a
tender age.
She said despite her age, she accepted to marry him against her
family wish, only to be maltreated by him after they started living
together.
She told the court that she believed that he charmed her to marry him
and her suspicion was confirmed when she started attending church.
Glory asked the court to compel Alex to take care of their children
by providing for their upkeep and education. In response, Alex denied
all the allegations made against him and said he had been taking care of
his family until trouble started.
Alex said he used to give his wife N200 daily before leaving for work
and wondered how she would claim that he did not take care of her and
their children.
He also said that he was no longer interested in the relationship and asked the court to dissolve the marriage.
He promised to provide N10,000 for the upkeep and education of the children.
The president of the court, Mr T. A. Eko, queried Alex for abandoning
the responsibility of the training their children for his estranged
wife to shoulder and asked him to have a change of heart for the
interest of the children. The matter was adjourned till March 2014.
