Humanrights activist, Joe Okei-Odumakin is currently seeking
justice for a married woman, Mrs Titilayo Emiabata whose husband, Kazeem
Owolabi Emiabata, deliberately infected with HIV/AIDS and then threw her out of
their matrimonial home in August.
A statement released by Okei-Odumakin, says Kazeem, is a Naval officer who is currently serving
at Barrack Maintainance Unit, Port Harcourt, deliberately infected his legally
married wife Titilayo with HIV and threw her out of their matrimonial home
after she discovered his anti-retroviral drugs and medical records, which
showed that he had been on treatment for a long period without disclosing his
status to her.
She confronted him and later told her parents about her
predicament when she got tested and her result came out positive. Kazeem had
threatened to deal with his now estranged wife if she exposed his HIV status
and then vowed to use the Police and other means to "kill Titilayo before
HIV/AIDS kills him".
Okei-Odumakin says the victim is being prosecuted by the
husband and the Nigeria Police Force for alleged "house breaking" and
"stealing" because she went to pack her personal belongings out of
their matrimonial home after she was sent out of their matrimonial home.
The case between the Commissioner of Police, Ogun State vs
Mrs. Titilayo Emiabata comes up tomorrow Thursday 21st September, 2017 by 9am
at the Chief Magistrate Court in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State presided over by Senior
Magistrate E.O. Idowu. She was arrested, detained for four days and arraigned
in court on the 24th of August, 2017 in Charge No. MAG/55C/2017 on a 10 count
charge bothering on burglary, housebreaking and stealing by the Nigeria Police
Force, Ogun State Command.
The Women Arise for Change and the Campaign for Democracy which
is being run by Odumakin, is demanding that justice should be done in this
case. The NGO says it rejects the treatment meted out to Mrs Titilayo Emiabata
by her Naval officer husband, in connivance with the Divisional Police Officer
of Ago-Iwoye in Ogun State.
Lagos-based human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, would be
representing her pro bono in court.
He shouldn't have thrown her out when she found out he was infected.
A sensible man would have begged and she would have forgiven him over time.
Las, las, they end up managing the virus together secretly.
Now, what he feared most has happened.
His face is everywhere. The whole world knows of his status.
Sidechics are coming for his head as well.
Why plenty people nor get sense? Why????
