Man charged for shaving wife’s pubic hair, says “I shaved the hair in order to make her sexually active”

A middle aged man, Oriyomi Adepoju, has been arraigned before an Osogbo Magistrate’s Court for allegedly shaving the pubic hair of his wife, Nafisat without her consent.

The accused, said to be in possession of several pubic hairs when police searched his room in the course of investigations, was accused of shaving his wife’s pubic hair while she was asleep.

The prosecutor, Sergeant Tajudeen, told the court that the accused person conducted himself in a manner likely to cause breach of peace when the police attempted to arrest him at his residence on Ibokun road, Osogbo, the Osun State capital.

Sergeant Tajudeen said the accused person had, through his action, committed an offence contrary to and punishable under section 219 (D) of the criminal code, cap. 34, vol.II laws of Osun State and presented to the court the pubic hairs of some women found in the room of the accused person.

Adepoju, who was charged for breach of public peace and indecent assault, however, pleaded not guilty as he told the court that part of the hairs were that of his former wife, whom he had divorced and those of his present wife.

“The love I have for my wife prompted me to perpetrate the act. I shaved the hair in order to make her sexually active, as I do not enjoy making love with plenty hair on her private part, and I don’t want her to sleep with another man.”

The presiding magistrate, Mrs H.O Basiru granted the accused person bail in the sum of N100,000 with two sureties in like sum.
