“Raphael and his wife, Obiageli, had been having constant quarrels over many issues, including sexual demands.
“The man was heard complaining that Obiageli did not allow him to touch her at night, while she insisted that he would not touch her unless he started treating her as his wife and took care of her needs.”
According to the police, after the accused was arrested, investigations revealed that the union was almost on the verge of breaking down before the unfortunate event took place.
The Magistrate, Mrs E. Kubeinje, however granted the accused bail with sureties and adjourned the case.
