•Husband: I’ve prostrated before her on TV programme
•Accuses her of sleeping with other men
An Ogun based housewife has accused her husband of brutalising her each time she turned down his demand for three rounds of intimacy.
Nine years ago, a family member introduced then Miss Dolapo Olupona to Taiwo Ogunrombi during a visit in Lagos and the two began a relationship that culminated in marriage. However, the relationship that began as a sizzling romance has turned traumatic for Dolapo, a native of Ikare-Akoko, Ondo State, on account of Ogunrombi’s alleged sexual drive and brutal attack on her each time she declined his request for three rounds of intercourse.
A few weeks ago, Ogunrombi, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) attached to the Mobile Police (MOPOL 2) Obalende, Lagos State allegedly descended on Dolapo, a trained fashion designer and mother of one, after she rebuffed his demand for multiple rounds of intimacy at their Sango-Ota residence in Ogun State.
“We started our affair on a good note, not knowing that he is the most unfeeling person in this world. He brutalises me for no other reason than sex,” Dolapo said.
“He has a high libido and unrestrained sex drive because of the packaged herbal drinks he consumes all the time. He does not take care of me and refuses that I work despite the fact that I am a trained fashion designer.
“If he finds out that I am working somewhere, he would storm the place, strip me naked in public glare and accuse me of hiding under work to sleep around with other men.
“On October 24 this year, when I rejected his demand for three rounds of lovemaking, he descended on me with fists and belt. He rebuffed neighbours who stormed our apartment until I almost passed out after sustaining injuries and bloodied face from the beatings.
“He has repeated the same thing a few days ago in November, hence I decided to cry out.
“He has refused to release my panties and clothes. He boasts that no one can save me from him and that he can do whatever he likes to me.
“The last time we went for mediation brokered by a television anchor, he told me on our way home that he would still make love to me three times and that there was nothing I could do to stop him.
“When we got home, I ran out of the house for him and slept outside.”
“I have told him several times that I cannot have three rounds of intercourse. Besides, he is not caring at all. He would not allow me to work, yet he wants to make love to me three times on each occasion.
“He should use the energy he is using to brutalise me to handle criminals instead of using it to attack me endlessly.
“I have lost jobs because he would come to my work place and beat me up. My previous employers said they could not retain my services because my husband was using his job as a police officer to destabilise their firms.
“If I don’t cry out now, he might kill me someday and nothing would happen as he boasts.”
She said she had reported her husband to his family but nothing came out of the family intervention as Ogunrombi did not listen to his family members, who asked him to stop brutalising her.
Dolapo added: “He has seven children from different women before I met him.
“When I reported him to his family members, they warned him to desist from brutalising me but he would not listen to them, because he feels that as a policeman, he can do whatever he likes and get away with it.
“He has consistently attacked me and I don’t want to wait till he kills me.
“His children say their father is treating me the same way he treated their mothers in the past. If I knew that he is not a good person, I would not have dated let alone marry him.
“I am not a wayward woman and he knows that I don’t like sex that much. Yet he would demand for three rounds of sex all the time. I do not like the way he treats me.
“I don’t sleep around with men. I have never abandoned home to sleep outside. He knows that I am not a promiscuous woman and I have proved that to him many times.
“He is only not satisfied with one round of sex and he suspects me of infidelity each time I turn down his demand for three rounds, saying that I have enjoyed myself with men outside and that is why I cannot satisfy his sexual appetite.”
Footages obtained by our correspondent showed Dolapo being attended to by a sympathiser shortly after she was allegedly beaten by Ogunrombi, who sat in a chair and blamed Dolapo for her woes.
The sympathiser was seen in one of the footages reprimanding Ogunrombi for the way he treated his wife.
”I am in pains…he has seized my phone after beating me up…if I knew I would not have come home today…pls talk to him to give me my phone so that I can call someone that would treat me of this wound,” Dolapo said in the footage.
Ogunrombi however claimed that he did not beat Dolapo, adding that he only pushed her to the bed when she held his shirt.
“I did not beat her…I pushed her to the bed in order to free myself from her grip when she held me by my shirt,” the policeman said.
An unnamed sympathizer in the footage is heard saying: “You (Ogunrombi) were only molesting your wife unnecessarily. Your marriage was not properly consummated yet you subject her to merciless beatings all the time.
“I don’t know why you would want to kill your wife for nothing sake. It is not as if your apartment is well furnished or tiled.”
The female sympathiser added: “I would have called the landlord of this house to come witness how you have been brutalising your wife. Did you catch her sleeping with a man?
“Are policemen this cruel to their wives…even if your wife is stubborn, must you kill her? This is one brutality too many and it is not good for your image because neighbours now tag you as being very cruel.”
Responding on the telephone, Ogunronbi told our correspondent that the matter had been settled by the anchor of a television programme. He said he was shocked that Dolapo was not satisfied with the outcome of the mediation.
He said: “I cannot say that we did not have a fight or that I did not beat her. But the matter has been settled at a television programme a few days ago.
“The anchor of the programme even asked me to prostrate for her and I did.
“I was angry that she saved a man’s name as her brother on the phone and I saw the flirtatious messages they exchanged and seized the phone from her since I was the one who bought her the phone.
“She flirts around with other men and would not sleep at our apartment for days. She would only return home by the weekend after sleeping around with men while I am away on duty.
“I have not slept with her for three months now because she denied me sex, and I still give her money for feeding and soup.
“I cannot hold her against her wish if she has decided to leave me. However, she should leave if she wants to leave, without further embarrassing me.”
