OLUWATOYIN MALIK reports on the rare love displayed by a woman who was shot by her husband but who is pleading with the police not to prosecute the man.
THE story is that of a strange love, such that is uncommon. For anyone that heard of a man shooting his wife in the course of a quarrel, the reaction would be that such an act should be punished. But it sounds strange to hear that the woman would still profess love for such a person or even plead for him at the police station, despite sustaining injuries from the shot fired by the husband for whom she was carrying a second child.
That was the drama that played out between a couple recently at Apete community, Ibadan. The husband, Wasiu Waheed (35), reportedly had a quarrel with his wife and when he saw that he could not silence his wife’s caustic tongue, he decided to use a weapon that would have silenced the woman forever, save for providence.
Being a security guard, Waheed possessed a barrel gun and he did not hesitate before picking the gun which he allegedly aimed at his wife, Kafayat. Immediately she saw her husband with the gun, the woman knew she was in trouble and attempted to escape. However, her legs could not move fast enough as the pellets from the gun hit her on the buttocks and back.
Though not apprehended when the incident occurred, policemen at Apete nabbed Waheed recently when he had another case at the police station. To the consternation of all, Kafayat pleaded with the police to, please, leave her husband as there would be nobody to take care of her and her only child if he should be detained. She also defended her husband’s action as something over which he had no control.
