A man identified as Bolaniran Orimolade, alias Bola Bebo has been arrested by the police for infecting his wife, stepdaughter, and twelve other women with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
According to Ebenezer Omejalile, the Chief Operating Officer of Advocates for Children and Vulnerable Peoples Network, the suspect who is a self-acclaimed chairman of the lyana Iba motor part and had boasted that he was above the law.
“He does it with so much impunity without any form of remorse, he was arrested several times but buys his way out and goes after his victims and makes life a living hell for them.
His latest atrocity was on his wife, Mrs Bolaniran, who after infecting her with HIV, he domestically abused her. He also s*xually molested his stepdaughter who is now living with HIV.
It’s also on record that Mrs Bolaniran had two identical twins, both males who were born with HIV courtesy of their father’s status.
Mrs. Bolaniran couldn’t bear the trauma of humiliation her husband subjected her and her children to, so she moved out to seek refuge in a church.
Ever since she moved out of the apartment, Bolaniran has been going to the church to cause trouble,” Omejalile said.
Omejalile noted that Bolaniran has been arrested and transferred to the Gender Anti-human trafficking unit of the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligent Department (SCIID), Panti, following his arrest. He added that investigation revealed that Bolarinan was once jailed for 10 years.
However, the National Union of Road Transport Workers has disowned Bolaniran, stating that he was never a registered member of the union.
It is uncontested that deliberate and actual transmission of HIV to someone as a way to cause them harm is a crime. Cases of people living with HIV intentionally transmitting HIV to others are extremely rare, as are cases of medical negligence by health-workers.
If you can prove that your partner knew or ought to have known that he or she is infected with an incurable or life threatening STD, and purposefully failed to inform you, or intentionally mislead you of such before proceeding to infect you with the STD, he or she may be held liable, not only for your civil law damages.
HIV transmission should not be criminalized except in instances of intentional transmission or intentionally reckless disregard. Under any other conditions, the human right to health and mitigating factors preclude treating HIV transmission as a criminal offense.
