A Nigerian lady identified simply as Ijeoma has been arrested by the police in Imo for allegedly using her menstrual period to prepare meals.
According to a report sighted by Igbere TV, Ijeoma, who had prepared the food for her boyfriend, was apprehended on Friday, 10th of January, 2020.
The report said the lady had denied any wrongdoing, “but when interrogated, she confessed to have used it for seven months so that her boyfriend won’t leave her.”
The name of her boyfriend was given as one Mr. Kingsley.
“I met Ijeoma 3 years ago. She was perfect but suddenly she started cheating on me and she engages in prostitution. Sometimes she would lie to me that she is traveling to her village but ends up in a Hotel with a man.
“One day I followed her and caught her in a Hotel with an old man but after begging me I forgave her because I love her so much. Most times my friends tell me to leave her but I can’t. I don’t know why.
“Just on Friday we had quarrel and fought, after the quarrel I overheard her speaking to someone on the phone about the quantity of the menstrual period she would use to prepare food for me. I heard everything that’s why I reported her to the police”, the reported quoted Kingsley as saying.
But Ijeoma denied the claims by her boyfriend. When interrogated by the police, however, she reportedly admitted to have engaged in the act for good seven months.
Her words, “I don’t use juju, I don’t know any native doctor. I love my boyfriend so much so I don’t want him to leave me.
“A friend of mine told me that if I use my menses to prepare food for my boyfriend he would fall in love with me forever. I have done it for 7 months and it was working well. Please officer it’s not to kill him but to make him love me more.”
Asked if she engages in prostitution, she said; “I do it once in a while. I use the money to train my two brothers in the university. I didn’t want to bother my boyfriend about their education so I engage in prostitution to train them”.
The police said, “We are still investigating into the matter and if her boyfriend wishes to charge her to court, we would give our appropriate support as demanded by the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria”.
