The publication earlier made that the Supreme Court of Nigeria in Abuja on Tuesday declared that women in Nigeria who have clitorises longer than 7.5 centimeters (3 inches) can now be legally considered as men, has been shown to be incorrect.

Investigations conducted by TheNigerialawyer (TNL) shows that there was no such a case before Justice Mary Odili.
Mrs. Amadi, Secretary to Justice Mary Odili also confirmed it to TheNigerialawyer (TNL) that Justice Odili didn’t handle any case of such nature.
Vanguard had on 31st of October, made a publication with the title, “Nigerian woman with long clitoris legally changes status to male”
Daniel O. Royal the publisher of the story on Vanguard, reported that 36-year old Isioma Adeyemi had requested to change her legal status from female to male due to the length of her clitoris.
He further stated that this request was however granted by a five-member Supreme Court panel, led by Justice Mary Odili who ruled that her request was âperfectly sound and legitimateâ, ordering that her legal status be changed immediately.
“Ms. Adeyemi had been said to have been in a legal battle for 7 years. Being a woman with an exceptionally large clitoris, her husband repudiated her, she eagerly wanted to change her legal status which has been granted, so it was reported.
She said: âThis is the greatest day of my life! My first husband repudiated me because my clitoris was bigger than his peen, now I finally get some kind of justice.â
Ms. Inna Shevchenko, leader of the radical feminist exhibitionist group Femen, describes the ruling as âa great advancement for African women in generalâ.
âA small number of women just obtained a great boost in their legal status and are now in a position to help their peers. Itâs a great day for women!â
Under Nigerian law, Ms. Adeyemi can now share landed properties with male brothers, have several wives as she wishes.
According to governmental experts, over 600 other Nigerian women have sufficiently big clitorises to apply for a change to their legal status.
World news daily reports that Nigeria is only the second country in the world to offer women with large clitorises the option of being legally considered as men.
“Uganda offers the same choice to all women with clitorises longer than 5 centimeters (2 inches). Only 11 women have legally changed their status to men since the law was passed in 2011,” were part of the report earlier made, Daniel O.Royal reported.
But the investigation conducted by TheNigerialawyer (TNL) reveals that there was no such ruling. This now leaves readers in thoughts as to why the publication was made.
The publication of the earlier report is highly regretted.
