A Nigerian man has dragged her wife to court for allegedly sleeping around with different men after catching her at a hotel.
A beans seller, Owoseni Alade, has dragged his wife of 24 years,
Emily Alade, before a Customary Court at Agodi, Ibadan, seeking divorce
for being fetish. Alade also accused his wife of being a drunk who lived
an adulterous life.
He said that he had caught her with men in hotels on several
occasions. In his testimony on Tuesday before the president of the
court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, the complainant said his wife “loves juju too much.’’
“She depends on charms and was in the habit of performing fetish acts; I did not understand her way of life.
“She is a drunk and used to follow
other men to hotels. My patience has reached a climax and I am not ready
to tolerate all her shameful acts anymore.
“This honourable court should separate us because I am tired of
her bad character but I pray the court to allow me have our three kids
in my custody,” Alade said.
Emily, in her defence, denied the allegations and instead described the plaintiff as “an unrepentant womaniser and irresponsible husband.’’
She accused him of beating her and burning her property when they
had a misunderstanding, adding that she was ready for divorce. The court
upheld the dissolution of the marriage as requested by the plaintiff
but gave the custody of the three children to the respondent.
Balogun also ordered the plaintiff to pay N9, 000 monthly allowance to support the upkeep of the three children.
