Boyfriend Inserts Pepper Into Lover’s Private Parts (See Photo)

A 34-year-old man, Solomon Ajisafe, has
been arrested by the police for allegedly
torturing his girlfriend, Tope Amuda, in
the Igbo Olomu, Ikorodu West area of
Lagos State.
Punch Metro learnt that Solomon, together
with his mother, a leader in the Oodua
People’s Congress, and some hoodlums
flogged Amuda with canes for alleged
adultery.
Our correspondents were told that
afterwards, she was taken round the
community, before ground pepper was
allegedly inserted in her private parts.

The incident happened last Sunday at
about 7pm on Aminu Toyin Street.
A resident, who identified herself only as
Adunni, told PUNCH Metro that attempts
made by neighbours to stop the torture
was rebuffed by the OPC.
Adunni said Amuda, a 25-year-old Osun
State indigene, lost her mind due to the
trauma she suffered.
She said, “They did not allow anybody to
rescue her. They made jest of her for
hours as they took her round the
community. I saw her; she was speaking
to herself and was incoherent. That was
when I discovered that she had lost her
mind.”
The General Secretary, Igbo Olomu
Community Development Association,
and Coordinator, Women Arise Initiative
in the area, Adebayo Obatungbase, said
she reported the matter at the Igbo
Olomu Police Division.
She said the community was planning to
send away Solomon’s mother, whose
name was given simply as Mrs. Ajisafe,
from the community.
She said, “The suspect’s mother calls
herself a prophetess, but she is also a
member of the OPC. We have decided to
send her away from this community.”
The Chairman, Igbo Olomu CDA, Michael
Adekoya, described the incident as
“sheer acts of wickedness.”
He said, “The police are trying, but we
need special attention from the
government. This community has turned
to something else. Why would a normal
human being insert pepper in a
woman’s private parts?”
However, Solomon told our
correspondents that he only slapped his
girlfriend, adding that they had been
dating for the past four years without
anything to show for the relationship.
He said, “I am a hardworking man and I
had a son before I met her. We have
dated for four years and during that
period; there was no child between us.
She has been a thorn in my flesh because
she always made trouble with my family.
“She later fought with my mother and
because of that, she decided to pack out
of the house. Nine months later, she
returned and said she was three months
pregnant for me. That was when I beat
her. I confessed to the police that I beat
her up, but it was only a slap which
made her eye to swell.”
Solomon’s sister-in-law, Ayomide Ajayi,
a nursing mother, who was equally
arrested, told PUNCH Metro she was
innocent.
Ajayi, 27, said, “I don’t know anything
about the allegation. You can ask her.”
But the victim, Amuda, insisted that
Solomon and his family members
tortured her.
Amuda, who spoke in Yoruba, said, “He
and his family members used bottle to
insert pepper into my private parts. I am
done with this relationship. Let
everybody go their separate ways.”
A police source told one of our
correspondents it was possible Amuda
was also flogged with a charm.
The source said, “When we picked her
from the general hospital, she could
barely walk. They really dealt with her
and she has been giving us some useful
information on their occult operation.”
Our correspondents learnt that the Office
of the Public Defender had equally
shown interest, leading to the
arraignment of Solomon and Ayomide
before an Ikorodu Magistrate’s Court on
three counts of assault.
