“I don’t think my husband is normal because after beating me he comes back to his senses and will tell me that he did not know he beat me.
“Also many times, he forcefully makes love to me.
“There was a time that he went to his village and on his return he told me that he must make love to me that night, l rejected him.
“Because of that I did not sleep for three days so that he won’t have his way and because he is fetish and dangerous, I don’t trust him,’’ she said.

“My wife use to starve me with sex for a month and since l don’t have any girlfriend, l force her when l am at the peak.
“I pay for the rent and provide for the upkeep of the family, l have not stolen her money before and l don’t beat her,” Adewale said.
