Sunday Olaosebikan, a Lagos-based husband is begging Igando customary
court to end his 7-year old marriage to Mutiatu,
his wife.
Olaosebikan says his
wife always refuses him sex until she collects N500.
His words: ‘’This, I
am sure, is why she has not conceived after the birth of our only child, who is
six-year old now.
“I am tired of paying N500 per round before
having sex with my wife, please dissolve the union.’’
The husband also complained
to the court that his wife always threaten to kill him.
Again his words: “My
wife is after my life, she stabs me with dangerous weapons whenever we have
misunderstanding.
“She once stabbed me
with a broken bottle on my head and I bled heavily which landed me in the
hospital.
He alleged that
Mutiatu “used our kitchen knife as pillow’’ and that she explained that her
pastor instructed her to use it against bad dreams.
“Many a times when I
request for sex or during argument, she brings the knife out threatening to
stab me.
“She is just
aggressive and violent in nature; she may kill me if I continue with the
marriage.
“Because of her
violent nature, I ran away from the house to avoid untimely death,” he said.
He said that his
family evicted his wife from the house for fear of unknown but that she came
back begging and was allowed in again.
“I accepted my wife
back because I thought she had learnt her lesson, but she refused to change,
instead she is getting worse day by day.”
“My wife does not obey
my orders; she always tells me that I cannot control her because we are age
mate.”
But, the wife was not
at the court for her defense, which compelled Adegboyega Omilola, president of
the court to order bailiff to serve her another summon to appear in court,
while the case was adjourned to February 28.
