JEEZ!! Banker Slices Husband’s joystick With Knife (Photos Inside) »

The popular saying that hell has no fury than a woman
scorned came to pass on Monday at the Surulere residence
of a banker, Bimbo Ajetumobi Daniju and her gospel singer
husband Olalekan Idowu Daniju when the woman allegedly
took a knife and sliced her husband’s joystick during a fight.

Bimbo, staff of a new generation bank in Lagos was said to
have accused her husband of not taking care of her and their
only child, Opeoluwa. The husband disagreed and while
fighting, Bimbo allegedly seized her husband’s joystick and
sliced it with a knife. Bimbo denied using a knife but her
fingernails to teach her husband a lesson on how not to
treat a woman. The ugly incident happened on Monday at
their Falolu Street, Surulere home.
The matter was reported to the police at Surulere station
and the woman was arrested. In her statement to the
police, Bimbo denied using a knife on her husband’s joystick
but her fingernails.
She was later released on bail when her husband insisted
that he was not interested in pressing charges against her.
Trouble started on 16 December when the banker who is a
staff of the Agege Motor Road branch of the bank, accused
her husband who has just returned from the church, of
failing to provide for the needs of the family and leaving her
to do everything. She also accused him of being selfish and
uncaring.
She reportedly shouted at Olalekan who was eating and
when he didn’t answer, poured his plate of food on his head.
She took a bucket found in the room and smashed it on his
head. This resulted in fighting.
Their neighbours separated them and Olalekan went to his
sister’s shop to seek refuge but not done yet Bimbo
allegedly followed him there and threatened to stab him
with a broken bottle.
Relatives and neighbours, it was gathered, intervened and
pleaded with the couple to give peace a chance but the
couple continued to live like a cat and mouse.
Madam Kehinde Daniju, sister of Olalekan told P.M.NEWS
that when her brother ran to her for help, she had to call
their mother and other relatives to settle the matter for
them in the family house they lived.
She explained that Bimbo’s mother who also lived around
the area came and told her daughter not to accept
reconciliation until Olalekan got a job. She blamed the
couple’s constant disagreement on Olalekan’s refusal to get
a job.
When she was leaving she took along the couple’s only son,
Opeoluwa Daniju.
This did not go down well with Olalekan who ordered his
wife to go to her mother’s house and bring his son before 8
p.m. or there would be trouble.
It was said that Bimbo left the house before 8 p.m and
returned 30 minutes later without Opeoluwa.
This resulted in another round of fighting during which
neighbours and relatives intervened again to separate them.
Narrating his story, Olalekan said he woke her up on Sunday
to ask what she would be wearing to the church so that he
could iron it but she didn’t reply.
“ I picked up my son’s cloth, ironed it, bathed him, had my
bath and left both of them at home and went to church. In
between the service, I came home to check on them and I
met her cooking, I even joked that thank God there’s
something for them to eat.
"I went back to church and after the service I was I hungry I
bought bread and beans to eat and as I got inside, my boy
told me he also wanted to eat bread and I gave it to him.
When she learnt that I gave the boy bread, she said I didn’t
bother to ask her where she got money to prepare the rice
that she ate and she started calling me several unprintable
names.
“I responded again and this time it was a huge mistake. She
just came near me, carried the plate of beans and pour the
food on my head. She held my tie shouting and cursing me
at the same time. I managed to extricate myself from her
grip and ran out. She nearly suffocated me with the tie. She
pursued me and broke a plastic bucket on my head but I
continued to run. She picked up a bottle, broke it and
threatened to stab me with it. This is a woman that is about
five month pregnant.
“I ran to my sister’s shop and tried to involve her but she
stayed out of the matter because they all know that she is
rude, stubborn and violent. There was a day she and her
brothers came here with thugs from Ojuelegba they wanted
to beat up everybody here. She has chased me on the street
with all sort of dangerous things. I don’t really know what
she wants to achieve with all this but that day, her mum
came, my mum’s sister came also and they tried to resolve
the whole thing.
“I saw my mum’s sister off and before I came back, my
mother-in-law had taken my son away and I was like we are
trying to solve one issue and you are trying to cause another
problem. I told her that if by 8p.m. that evening my child is
not back home, she would not find it funny.
“I said that to make her know that I was serious but she said
that there’s nothing I can do. She left the house before 8p.m.
and came back 30 minutes later without my son. She took
her bath and went to sleep I went to my sister and told her I
am going to my mother-in-law’s house to get my child but
my family ask me not to go there. At that time, I was tired,
confused and hungry. I picked up my laptop but while I was
trying to watch a movie I fell asleep in the sitting room.
“She woke me up at about 2a.m.. I was in a pair of boxer
shorts. She told me that it is either I kill her or she kills me
and within seconds she had torn my shorts. This was not
surprising anyway as she had torn many of my clothes in the
past. She said ‘I am going to kill you this morning. You think I
am joking’. The whole thing happened so fast I just felt her
hand in holding my joystick, and the next thing was blood
flowing. I started shouting and crying for her to take me to
the hospital.
“She said ‘hospital ke, that’s where you are going to die
today’ and that was the last time I saw her. I don’t know
how she left the house at that time of the night. She
changed her clothes, took a big bag and left, only for us to
see her two days later at the police station.
There and then, I decided I cannot continue living with her,
she could just decide to put poison in my food and kill me
one day.
“It’s only a person that’s alive that can explain anything. She
could just poison me and cook up a story just like she did at
the police station where she told the police officers that I
woke her up at 2a.m. and started hitting her, almost beating
her to death and the officers clapped for her for a lovely
story. The officers asked how come I did all that and she had
the strength to run away and she didn’t run to the hospital,
that is, someone that was almost being beaten to death
should go to the hospital and there was no doctor’s report.
The person you injured brought his own medical report, we
could see that the injury was bandaged.
“The officers told her that there’s no mark on her to signify
being beaten, she replied that she didn’t go to any hospital
because there was no mark on her she also claimed that she
didn’t use any knife but that she used her fingernails to
scratch my joystick,” he said.
Efforts to speak with Bimbo at her mother’s home proved
abortive as our reporter was prevented from talking to her.
