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.
g
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.
