Banker explains why she nearly
severed her hubby's penis with knife
Some days ago you read about a pregnant banker
who sliced her husband's penis during a fight at
their home in Surulere on December 16th. (If you
missed it, read HERE )
31 year old Bimbo Danju has explained why she
did it. She told Saturday Punch...
“Please, kindly judge this by yourself. As a
pregnant woman, will I willingly attempt to
cut off my husband’s penis? I ordinarily
would not have said anything. I did not
realise this will escalate to this stage. The
case is being handled by my lawyer at the
moment.
“My husband is not a hot-tempered man but
he gets angry once in a while. He lied that he
washes my clothes. He only did that once or
twice when I was ill. We had a disagreement
that day and he beat me up. My mother
came to the house and took away our son.
“Without telling anybody, I went to my
hospital and was treated. I did not tell him.
But when I got home, he continued to harass
me. He said I must ensure his son was
returned to the house. Continue...
“I was so tired and I went to sleep. But in the
middle of the night, he woke me up and asked me
again to produce his son. We started fighting and
he was beating me. In order to escape his beating,
I had to hold his penis. I wanted him to leave me
alone. I held on to it until I had a chance to
escape.”
“Please ask him, which certificate is he even
talking about? When I married my husband, he told
me he graduated from the Ogun State University,
Ago-Iwoye, but that he had an accident some time
ago, in which his certificates were burnt,” she
said.
“When I married him, he did not have a job. He
said he was working on a CD and all the money I
made, I spent on him.”
Speaking with Saturday PUNCH, her husband told
a different story.
He said, “My pastor had advised me against
marrying her because of an encounter he had with
her. Before we got married, in a meeting with
Bimbo, my pastor said he asked her about her
past and my wife said, ‘How dare you!’
“Of course, I did not believe my pastor at the time
because I was in love. But now, I rue the day I met
that woman.”
Lekan alleged that his wife had been behaving
strangely since he lost his job. He stated that he
had done everything he could to ensure that she
remained happy.
“I wash her clothes including her underwear. Even
without a job, I ensure that the proceeds of my
gospel music CD are used to take care of her and
our son,” he said.
The apartment Lekan shared with his wife is a
mini-flat. Asked who paid for the apartment, the
man said the house belonged to his father.
According to him, he was living in a rented
apartment in Ikorodu before relocating to his
father’s house in Surulere so that it would be
easier for his wife to get to work.
Lekan explained that Bimbo was a good woman at
the time.
He said, “I married her legally. We did a church
wedding, went to court and did the traditional
wedding. But when I lost my job, I realised that
after a little disagreement, she would rain abuses
on me and my family.
“She would sometimes destroy things in the
house. There was a time we had a disagreement
and she chased me down the street with a stick.
During another disagreement, she took my HND
certificate to the end of the street and dropped it
beside a gate. Neighbours had to plead with her to
bring it back.”
He narrated to Saturday PUNCH how his wife
attacked him.
“That fateful day, I was washing my wife’s
clothes. She reminded me that she needed some
money for foodstuffs and I told her that God would
provide for us. Later, she came out of the house
and said she had eaten noodles and had fed our
son.
“When I finished with the clothes, I was so tired
because the clothes were many. I ate the leftover
of her noodles. There were about three-spoonfuls
left.”
Lekan alleged that that did not go down well with
his wife who said she still wanted to eat the
leftover.
He said he had to go to the street to buy bread for
her since she said she was still hungry.
He further explained that he had to go out shortly
after to get some money from a salesman who
handles his CD sales.
“I came home and informed my wife that I got
some money from my CD. She told me that she
would like to eat wheat and white soup which I
usually buy for her from a restaurant. I bought that
for her,” he said.
By that time, Lekan said the only thing he had
eaten that day was the leftover noodles. He said
the remaining money from the CD sales had been
used to buy things needed in the house.
But his elder sister who had a shop nearby was to
later give him N500 when she noticed that he did
not look like he was feeling well.
“I went out to buy rice and when I came in and
she saw me eating that, she flared up. She said I
lied to her that I had no money. She was shouting
but I pleaded with her to calm down so that my
people around would not hear. She replied that it
would not be well with the people. She abused my
relations and parents.
“The following day, a Sunday, I swallowed my
pride. I woke up and asked which clothes she
would like to wear to church so that I could iron it
with mine. When she did not answer, I left for
church but came back after the workers’ meeting.
“I got home and saw her preparing jollof rice but I
went out to buy N60 bread and N40 beans. Trouble
started again when she saw me eating that. She
said I refused to give her money but I was buying
food to eat. She said, ‘Before I say anything now,
you will go and complain to your useless family.’
That was when I told her that it was her whole
family that was useless. Had I known, I would have
kept quiet. She took the plate of beans and poured
it on my head.”
But Lekan said even though many men would have
pummelled such a woman, he feared he might kill
her in anger. The matter died down, or so it
seemed.
Around 2am, Lekan said he received a sudden and
painful knock that woke him up from sleep and
realised that it was from his wife.
“I knew she had decided to start her trouble again.
But I did not in my wildest imagination think that
she could do what she did next.
“Before I realised what she was doing, I felt a
sharp pain in my manhood. I touched it and blood
was gushing out. I screamed and my immediate
thought was, ‘Is this the way I would die?’”
Lekan pointed to a kitchen knife in a corner of his
room. He said it was the weapon his wife used.
The wound inflicted on Lekan’s manhood was deep
but it had been stitched after he was rushed to the
hospital by neighbours.
Lekan said he is not pressing charges against his
wife.
