A housewife, Helen Bassey Umoh, 25-year-old , has dragged her husband, Michael Bassey Umoh, before an Akwa Ibom State High Court in Uyo to end her nine-month-old marriage with her husband, over ‘malfunctioning’ penis.
Helen, a graduate of Business Administration, told the court that “My husband cannot satisfy me in bed especially in the night. Anytime I deny him sex, he would pick up a fight; I am tired of the marriage.
“The marriage has not produced any child and I am fed up with my husband’s harshness. I urge the court to dissolve the marriage because there is no love between us.
“My husband is fond of beating me unnecessarily and would at times curse me and lock me inside our bedroom.
“My husband blames me for our childlessness. I cannot continue to endure in an unproductive marriage and with a man that has no respect for his wife.”
During cross examination, her husband denied having erectile dysfunction : “The non-erection of my manhood is not regular; it is just that I am not always in the mood whenever she is in the mood. I don’t use any enhancement drugs for sex as she alleged.”
