A woman has accused her husband of working in lieu with doctors to have her womb removed without her consent – Kafilat revealed this last Thursday while appealing to an Ibadan Customary Court to dissolve her five-year marriage to Musiliu.
According to her, her womb was removed while she was undergoing a caesarean section for the delivery of her first child and she had no idea about it until recently.
“My lord, Musiliu has systematically rendered me barren, because I can no longer conceive due to the removal of my womb during a caesarean surgery when I was trying to deliver my first child.
“While in the hospital, he should have informed any of my relatives that for me to have a safe delivery, my womb must be removed.
“It is not until recently that Musiliu wanted to be having sexual intercourse with me that he directed me to go for family planning.
“Then, medical personnel told me that I no longer have womb. Worst still, Musiliu is a drunkard and insensitive in all aspect of life.” Kafilat told the court.
Musiliu did not deny the allegations made by his wife but proceeded to plead with the court to help keep his marriage intact.
“My lord, it is true that her womb was removed but the doctor informed me that her womb had already been damaged and the only option was total removal for her safe delivery.The doctor also advised me not to let her know until over a year when she could bear the pain,” Musiliu said.
Musiliu’s plea was not granted as the marriage was dissolved by the court president, Mr Henric Agbaje.
Mr Agbaje also awarded custody of the couple’s four-year-old son to Kafilat and ordered Musiliu to make a monthly payment of N4,000 for their son’s upkeep in addition to taking responsibility for his education.

During the meetings with the ladies, he allegedly asks for sex from them or threatens to make the nude pictures public with some of the ladies giving into his demand.
But after series of sexual encounter with one of his victims, Chief Supt. Appenteng said, the lady got fed up and reported his modus operandi to the police.

A South African prophet, Theo Bongani Maseko of the Breath of Christ Ministries in Daveyton, has caused a stir yet again after he made his church members drink engine oil.
According to him, it tastes like honey and drinking the oil demonstrates “the power of God”.
Photographs of people drinking the fluid during church service were posted on his church’s Facebook page. They had a caption which read:
“The fullness of Christ is in this bottle. Healing and strange deliverance #Mark16:17 -18.”
In an interview with The Star on Monday, Maseko confirmed he had made his congregants drink the chemical. Asked why he had used this method, he said it was “to demonstrate the power of God”.
“When we pray over anything, its poison dies. So it can’t harm people. Nothing happened, no one has been to hospital,” he said.
On the contrary, he said, congregants who had drunk the engine cleaner had been “saved, healed and delivered”. He backed up his claims by citing Bible verses.
“Jesus spat on the ground and made mud. He took that mud and smeared it on the eyes of a blind man and, instantly, that blindness was healed.
Mark 16 v 17-18 says ‘in My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover’,” he said.
Maseko said no one needed to go to the hospital.
This practice has however been condemned by South Africa’s Commission for Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Religious, Cultural and Linguistic Communities. Its Chairperson, Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva, was livid at the latest incident.
She urged religious leaders to rally together and bring an end to what she described as “reckless” abuse of Christianity.
“A lot of people are going to die one of these days; we are fortunate that has not happened. A lot of people’s lives are at risk here,” she said.
