In the bustling suburb of Alimosho, Lagos, Nigeria, a scandalous story of love, betrayal, and fear unravels as the arrest of a housewife for engaging in homosexual activity sends shockwaves through the community.
Two middle-aged ladies were arrested on thursday, November 10th,2022, at the popular Abidap Hotel in Ipaja for engaging in homosexual activity. It was learned that the police received a tip about the incident, according to information gathered during an investigation into the matter.
One of the ladies identified as Rafiat Olowolagba, is not just any individual; she is a wife, a mother, and now, a fugitive from justice. She is allegedly married to Mr. Razaq.
She was detained along with her accomplice for several days after her arrest by the police before her husband secured her bail with the agreement to ensure her presence until the case concluded.
The situation took a dramatic turn when Razaq Olowolagba failed to produce his wife as required, leading to his own arrest until she is located.
Rafiat’s husband, Mr. Razaq Olowolagba, finds himself at the center of a storm he never saw coming. In a heart-wrenching revelation, Razaq shares his anguish at his wife’s arrest and subsequent disappearance. He paints a picture of a marriage tainted by secrets, struggles, and ultimately, deception.
“I was unaware,” Razaq confesses, his voice heavy with emotion. “I was unaware that my wife had returned to her previous lifestyle of lesbianism. I recall that in late 2014, she confided in me about her experiences with the lady she was arrested with, and since then, I’ve taken her to numerous therapy sessions to address her sexual orientation. It was shocking to learn she had been arrested for the same offense.”
Investigation by this medium revealed that Mrs. Rafiat Olowolagba is currently in Canada with her daughter, a fact known to her husband which he vehemently denied in public for fear of prosecution.
In Nigeria, Section 214 of the Nigerian constitution criminalises ‘carnal knowledge’ against the order of nature with a penalty of fourteen years’ imprisonment. Anyone arrested and found guilty of homosexuality in Nigeria would face charges.
The implications of this situation extend beyond Rafiat, as her young daughter Rihanat may most likely suffer the collateral damage of community stigma, social exclusion, and emotional trauma if her mother is arrested and charged.
