Vanguard News, An online news media, shared a video via its facebook page about a woman who alleged that her husband raped her over 100 times during the Covid-19 lockdown period.

In what seems to be a sympathetic post received a lot of absurd reactions.

Here is a summary of the post;

In the Victoria Derbyshire-fronted programme, a woman called Jess – not her real name – said on the night lockdown was announced her husband told her what this meant for her – before she was raped over 100 times over the next weeks and months.

She said:

‘I was at home with him, we were both listening to Boris Johnson and he looked over at me, he had his arms folded back and chest out, cos he knew that would intimidate me, and he looked at me and he said:

“let the games begin”.

And he said:

“If you think it was bad before with the rape, you’re in for a rough ride.”

So the rape started really, really, really bad, really bad.

Curtains would get closed, TV would be up loud, front door would be locked, music would be turned up, so nobody could hear me screaming for someone, for anybody.

Thankfully, Jess escaped her husband after he fell asleep one day, meaning she was free to go online and discover how to contact the police by text, who then helped her.

A facebook user simply known as Junior John said, “That’s not rape na”.

Another facebook user by name, David Di Santo also reacted;” Na him right madam, not rape”
