A housewife, Mrs Ruka Amoha who claimed her husband has denied her sexual intercourse for some months decided to vent her anger on her neighbour, Mrs Yemi Adelani.

Ruka, who alleged that her husband, Wasiu Amoha, starved her of sex because he was enjoying an amorous affair with her neighbour, descended on Yemi and bit off her nose, during an argument at their apartment.

“I cannot accept a situation where Yemi is enjoying her husband and mine at the same time thus denying me the opportunity to enjoy my husband,” said Ruka, a mother of three.

The incident happened at 13, Adealu Street, Dopemu, Lagos, southwest Nigeria.

Doctors at the Lagos General Hospital, Orile Agege confirmed that Yemi’s nose was badly damaged and she needs plastic surgery to survive.

The victim, a mother of four kids, confirmed that Ruka accused her of sleeping with her husband.

She denied ever having an affair with Wasiu, Ruka’s husband, who rented a room in the same building Ruka and her husband where reside.

Yemi said that the difference between them is that she has been living peacefully with her husband, unlike Ruka who was always fighting her husband and neighbours.

Wasiu, the man at the centre of the storm confirmed to P.M.NEWS that he has been having a constant quarrel with his wife, Ruka because of her behaviour.

On the day of the incident last week, Ruka reportedly ambushed Yemi and grabbed her nose and bit it off.

She bled profusely and was rushed to the hospital where she was treated. But she is still expected to undergo plastic surgery on the nose.
