When it comes to Domestic violence, Nigeria is no doubt a shareholder in this stake. The most annoying aspect of this is, when such topics are brought to the table for discussion, some men tend to wave off the topic.
It has been said umpteenth times that women should be treated with care. I believe the reason why apostle Paul said we should "treat women as though a weaker vessel" (1 Peter 3:7) is because a weaker vessel is treated with utmost care and support, to avoid it cracking or breaking into pieces.
Today again, Nigeria has lost another lady due to anger inflicted on her, by her alleged boyfriend.
The suspect identified as one Erigga Shagbada confessed to the crime of killing his girlfriend (One Happiness), because she had refused having sex with him. According to him, “On that faithful day of the incident, we were showering together and I asked her the reason she has been denying me of sex but she was raising her voice on me and I slapped her and to my surprise, she slapped me back and I gave her just three blows at the mouth and another one on her neck. Next thing I knew, she fell slumped and died."
After he suspected that she was dead, he quickly threw her into the well in his compound to avoid traces to him.
Speaking before newsmen today June 30, the Oyo state Commissioner of Police, CP. Chuks Enwonwu, said that the suspected murderer, Erigga invited Happiness, a mother of three, to his home to spend the night with him on June 21. They got into a heated argument after she refused to have sex with him. He punched her three times. She slumped and died and then he dumped her body inside a well in the Ojoo area of Ibadan, Oyo State capital.
The police boss also said men of the Ojoo Police Station began an investigation after one Mr. Agu Benson, a resident of Oritoke Area of Ojoo, Ibadan came to the police station to report that he went to fetch water in the well in his compound on June 25 and discovered a floating body.
When interrogated, Shagbada confessed to the crime but said he “accidentally” killed Happiness.
