Nigerian Man Allegedly Infects Wife with HIV/AIDS, Human Rights Activists Seek Justice (Details)

Human rights activist, Dr. 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 threw her out of their matrimonial home in August.

A statement released by Dr. Joe says Kazeem, is a Naval officer who is currently serving at Barrack Maintainance Unit, Port Harcourt, threw his wife out after she discovered his anti-retroviral drugs and medical records, which showed that he had been on treatment for a long period.

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 her if she exposed his HIV status and then vowed to use the Police and other means to ‘kill Titilayo before HIV/AIDS kills him’.

Dr Joe said 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 and Mrs. Titilayo comes up today Thursday 21st September, 2017 by 9am at the Chief Magistrate Court in Ago-Iwoye, Ogun State presided over by Senior Magistrate E.O. Idowu.

According to the statement 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 and for no reason should the matter be over looked.

They are not in agreement with the kind of 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.

According to Saharareporters, Lagos-based human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, would be representing her pro bono in court and surely bring her husband to book whether or not he is a naval officer.
