Bus driver sends wife packing for appearing to enjoy sex with armed robbers who gang raped her

ARMED robbers have cost a Benue woman her marriage after her husband sent her packing from his house because she appeared to be enjoying sex with them when she was raped during the course of a robbery.

In a bizarre case, the Benue State-born man sacked his newly married wife because she was making some funny moaning sounds while being raped by armed robbers in his presence. She had been the victim of rape during a robbery at their residence on Bello Street in the Iyana-Ejigbo area of Lagos State.

Apparently, the armed robbers visited them just a few months after they came back from their village where they had conducted their traditional marriage. Heavily armed gunmen invaded their home around 3 am and demanded money from the man who is a native of Owukpa, Ogadigbo Local Government Area of Benue State.

He told the gunmen that he had only N3, 500 at home, pleading that he was only a commercial bus driver. He also begged the robbers that he did not have much money at home since he had expended all his savings on marrying his new wife and they were just trying to settle down.

However, the robbers who were angry that the man did not have much money at home decided to gang-rape his wife at gunpoint. When the robbers left after raping the woman, the commercial driver was said to have raised hell, accusing his wife of enjoying the rape by moaning in excitement and twisting her waist as the robbers sexually assaulted her, instead of screaming for help.

He said: “Imagine my wife, instead of her to cry for help, she was busy making some funny sounds, an indication that she was enjoying the sex, even in my presence.”

After the incident, the man was said to have ordered the woman out of his house on the ground that she disgraced him as it is against the customs of his community for a married woman to have sex with another man. He is said to be afraid of what the gods of his land will do to him and has asked the wife to return to her village for the cleansing rites and sacrifices to be made.
