A man, Adedola Odetola, has dragged his wife, Regina, before an Igando
customary court in Lagos State, seeking the dissolution of their
five-year-old union.
Odetola, a businessman, said 11 months after they got married, his wife started acting strange.
He also described her as ungrateful, adding that he opened a business centre for her but she didn’t operate it for two years.
“She does whatever her mother and sister want, saying they are her
priority to the extent of taking foodstuffs from out home to them. At
times, she violently collects money from me and gives to her mother and
sister,” he said.
Odetola accused his wife of being fetish, saying there was a day he saw a strange candle in their bathroom.
“The day I caught her burying some object in the front of our flat, was the day the love between us went sour,” he said.
He said he was shocked when she dropped their second child with him last
Sunday, claiming she had no place to stay. Odetola said he was tired of
her, adding that he no longer wants her.
In her defence, Mrs Odetola decried her husband’s attitude at home,
saying she learnt from his brother that her husband hasn’t been happy
with her for three years.
“I once heard him on phone, saying I wanted to poison his food and since
then, he has stopped eating from me but I still wash his clothes,” she
said.
The respondent said her husband gives her N1,000 daily, adding that he expects her to cloth their children out of the money.
She said: “My husband doesn’t like cold food. So, I prepare his food
when he is close to our house but he complains whenever the food is
still cooking and won’t eat from it. It is true he got me a shop but he
didn’t stock it. Even when he gave me N20,000 to stock the shop, I used
the money to buy clothes for myself and our children. His attitude is
somehow strange. My mother has only visited our house three times. I
just want him to rent an apartment for me because he was the one who
asked me not to work.”
President of the court, Mr. Hakeem Oyekan, ordered the couple to keep the peace. He adjourned the matter till September 30.A man, Adedola Odetola, has dragged his wife, Regina, before an Igando
