“They frequently see each other and the issue came to light when her uncle’s wife revealed it to me that I was staying with her husband’s son.
“She does not want to discuss the issue and she has the tendency of beating me up. I have sustained injuries due to her violent actions.
“She emotionally abuses her uncle’s wife and she does not even respond to her greetings.
“I took the matter to my in-laws who then demanded $1000 for ‘lobola’ before any discussion,” Mareya said.
Jasi, on the other hand, did not dispute the allegations made against her by her husband but counter accused him of being abusive.
She said: “I am going to beat up that aunt because of her gossip.
“I still love my husband. Your Worship, he is harassing and insulting me; some of the things he is saying are correct and some of them are lies.
Presiding Magistrate Tafadzwa Miti ruled in favour of the husband and ordered Jasi to observe peace towards him.

Nigeria Has #MeToo Movement After COZA Pastor Fatoyinbo Is Accused Of Rape

Aftermath the accusation of rape against the Senior Pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) Biodun Fatoyinbo a new #MeToo movement on social media with women sharing stories of sexual assault and calling for justice has ememerged on social media.
Celebrity Photographer and wife of a popular musician Timi Dakola, Busola said in an interhas accused Fatoyinbo rape when she was a teenager.The story caught the public attention and people responded with outrage on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #MeToo, #ChurchToo and #SayNoToRape, in what activists said could be the start of Nigeria’s first major movement against sex abuse.
Hundreds of people protested on Sunday in major cities Abuja and Lagos. Dakolo’s husband, Timi Dakolo, posted an image on Instagram saying protests were planned for seven days.
“People were already angry that the government was not taking the issue of violence against women and girls seriously,” said Osai Ojigho, country director for human rights group Amnesty International.
“So when Busola’s story broke out, people were like you know what, enough is enough.
“This needs to stop. I think it’s been building up. It’s about time,” she told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
The #MeToo movement began in the United States in late 2017 in response to accusations of sexual assault and harassment in the entertainment industry. It has since spread to other countries, though there has been little pick-up in Africa.
Nigeria had a small movement earlier this year in the mostly Muslim north to expose sexual abuse with the hashtag #ArewaMeToo, but it did not spread widely, said Ojigho.
Public frustration had grown with several incidents since last year, including reports that Nigerian soldiers had raped women fleeing violence in the north, and that police had sexually assaulted women in Abuja nightclub raids, she said.
Since Friday, women have come out with more allegations against pastors, but have also taken the movement beyond the church, she said.
“For the first time women are pushing issues to the forefront that are getting a lot of media attention,” she said.
“The challenge is to make sure it goes beyond that.”
Fatoyimbo has denied the allegation in a post on his verified Instagram page, and has since stepped down from the pulpit indefinately.
He and Dakolo could not be reached for comment.
Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, has a poor record on women’s rights and one of the lowest rates of female politicians in the world.
