Lagos-based banker who battered his wife and mother of his kids after
denying her s*x as punishment for two years, has been arrested and
arraigned.
The victim, Nkiruka
The operatives of the Nigerian Police have arrested a 41-year old
bank staff, Raymond Olisa Okani, and charged him before a Lagos court,
for allegedly battering his 36-year-old wife, Nkiruka, after denying her
s*x as punishment for two years at 511 Road, Gowon Estate in Egbeda,
Lagos where they reside.
According to PM Express, apart from the assault and denial, the
suspect reportedly abducted their three children and hid them at an
undisclosed place suspected to be his mistress house.
Okani, who hails from Abagana in Anambra State, is a staff of May
Fresh Mortgage Bank at Trade Fair Complex branch owned by Rev Father
Emmanuel Edeh of Adoration Praying Ministry, Elele in Rivers State.
He worked with Rev. Edeh for several years and has been given merit
award before he was transferred to Lagos to work at the Bank. He later
married Nkiruka who hail from Nssuka in Enugu State and they had
children.
Speaking to a correspondent, an embattled Nkiruka said that their
7-year-old marriage started facing problem two years ago when Raymond
suddenly started coming home late from work under the flimsy excuse that
he was assisting their female boss in the office and thus stopped
sleeping with her.
The suspect, Olisa
She said he ordered her to move all her property from their bedroom and restricted her to their children’s room.
She narrated that when the burden became unbearable to her as he
has stopped providing for the family and at a point asked her to leave
their matrimony home so that he could bring another woman, she refused
mainly because of their children and then he resorted to constantly
beating her. She said out of frustration, she went to a human right
group office at Ikeja and reported her predicament.
He was invited but he refused to come for amicable settlement of
the matter. She said following his refusal by both families and the
human right organisation, the matter was reported to the police who
arrested him and charged to court.
Raymond was charged with assault and abduction of the children under the Criminal Code, and he pleaded not guilty.
The presiding Magistrate, Mrs J.O.E Adeyemi granted Raymond bail in
the sum of N200,000 with two sureties in like sum, and he was remanded
in prison custody pending when he will perfect his bail condition.
The matter was adjourned till 6 March 2017.
