The judge sentenced the male accused to a total of 15 years for te sexual assault and his female partner handed four years for her cruelty to the young boy.

The prosecutor thanked the court for such a strong sentence adding that it will send a note of caution to other evil perpetrators of child abuse.

 “First and foremost I would like to commend the victims for their strength in seeking help and disclosing what had happened to them. Both children have demonstrated incredible courage throughout our investigation and this trial, especially considering their age.

Abuse of this kind often has a long-lasting impact on victims but I sincerely hope that they can move forward with their lives – free from the fear of being abused.

Ogundare subjected these children to a prolonged campaign of abuse. Under the pretence of punishment, he sexually abused one of the victims to satisfy his most repulsive desires.

Throughout this investigation, he has shown no remorse and the things he has said to try to evade justice have been beyond comprehension.

“Emmanuel also subjected the children to physical abuse and has also shown no remorse. She has repeatedly defended Ogundare and tried to discredit the victims.

“I hope today’s result sends a clear message to members of the public and offenders alike that police officers will do everything in their power to see justice done.”

There is strength of a woman and then there is tyranny of a woman. What you’re about to see is a fierce mixture of both.

In this video circulating on social media, a lady (either angry, crazy or drunk) attacks a man standing next to his car.

At first, she jumped onto the hood of his car and with her feet damaged the windscreen wipers.

Then, she jumped down and tried to damage the car from inside. Men however defend their cars like Roman soldiers of old at war.

Before the lady could get crazy in the car, the man managed to swiftly pull her out and throw her on the street.

The angry lady however was not finished with him. She got up, gave him a blow and decided to take up a new weapon – her teeth.

From the video, you can hear the man screaming in pain as the lady bites him like an animal. All this time, people are recording this.

To make matters worse or better, you can hear a man telling his fellow brother not to hit the lady despite the attack.

The helpless man had to take the blows and bites so that he isn’t branded a batterer of women.

From the video, it is not clear what the relationship between the woman and man is. She could be his girlfriend or just a total stranger.

Whatever the case, the poor man left the scene badly hurt but with gentleman points.

In truth, the mere shame of reporting to the police an attack from a woman imprisons men being abused by women.

The big question is, how are men suppose to defend themselves from physical abuse from a woman?
