Can a Wife Get Raped by Her Husband? | DSP Aliyu Giwa Narrates a Marital Rape Case
Lagos State Deputy Superintendent Police, Aliyu Giwa took to Twitter to pose a serious question about marital rape and described the situation that led to the question.
He wanted to know if a married woman can report rape by her husband, following a recent case in his station.
According to DSP Giwa, the woman in this case said she refused to get intimate with her hubby for three days because she was undergoing special prayers for two weeks. Her husband couldn’t wait and so forcefully had sex with her.

“So one faithful day, this married woman came to the Police station to report her husband. Good enough I was at the charge room that day. So I over heard her discussion with the Inspector who was the CRO( Charge room officer) for that day. Then she was asked “ma’am what hppnd?”
She replied “My useless husband raped me” with a nasty attitude. At that point I had to show interest, because I was wondering why she had to answer in that manner. So I asked her another question immediately “ma’am please what really happened?

However the incident happened four weeks before it was reported to the police, Aliyu revealed. He made emphasis that the constitution does not yet have any laws on marital rape but advised husbands to respect their wives wishes.
“Marital rape is as real as other forms of rape and sexual violence, and inasmuch as it is not codified in the Nigerian constitution, spouses should do well to respect their partner’s choice when they say “no,” he said.
