I rape because my wife starves me of sex, man tells court
A middle-aged father Ojo Adewole, has told an Ikole Customary Court in Ekiti that he was involved in rape because his wife starved him of sex.
He said this on Wednesday when he testified in a divorce petition by his wife, Omotayo 35, admitting that he has been involved in a rape case but said the wife was the cause.
“Your honour, my wife had always starved me of sex. Instead of taking care of me and the house, she went about partying and making friends. My wife is simply wayward and the family had always supported her deeds.
“Your honour, I may not have the moral justification to ask for the preservation of the marriage, but I am praying the court to reduce my monthly financial obligation to my children to N5, 000,” he said.
