Woman battered for cautioning her lover against smoking marijuana

Tope
A woman who thought she was in a position to give advice to her lover has received a shocking blow, literally.
Temitope Oladejo, 26,  obviously meant well when she advised her lover, Ahmed Babalola, against smoking marijuana aka Indian hemp but Babalola didn’t take it too well. He battered her and left her with a dreadfully swollen face.
According to reports, she said:
“He beats me at the slightest provocation, particularly when I cautioned him against smoking Indian hemp. My worry was not only his smoking attitude but the fact that each time, he comes asking me to give him money and when I refused, he would beat me up.”
“He came back home recently and I found a wrap of Indian hemp on him. I knew he smokes but never knew he was into Indian hemp. I pleaded with him to quit but he kept quiet.
“Next day, I told him I was going to visit my mum that was ill. He also said he was going out but that he was not having any money on him. I told him I had N300 which I opted to share with him”
But when I went to take my bath, he searched my bag and found N2,000. He asked where I got the money from and I told him it was not mine. At that point, he started ranting, looking for an avenue for another round of beating.
I reminded him that I was not owing him because he usually goes out and comes in without caring to drop money for our little daughter’s upkeep. Before I knew it, he gave a hot slap on my face and started beating me. When I attempted to shout to alert neighbours, he picked a towel and gagged me. I managed to escape . But by then, he had inflicted injuries all over my face”
Asked why she had not bothered to report to her family or that of Babalola, she disclosed that they were not legally married. Also asked why she did not deem it fit to report the matter to the police, she said
“I have on several occasions reported the incessant battering to the police. But each time, they would ask me to go home and resolve the issue with him.
