A barber identified as Gbenga Akinade, on Friday told an
Ibadan Grade C Customary Court, Agodi-Ibadan, that his wife Busayo had sex with
her ex-husband on his (Gbenga’s) matrimonial bed.
While seeking dissolution of his six-year-old marriage on
the ground of infidelity, Gbenga said he could no longer tolerate his wife’s
adulterous way.
He told the court that he met the defendant when she was
hawking herbal liquor (Agbo-jedi), and that both of them agreed to marry after
few months of courtship.
He said, “I did not know that she was a divorcee with two
kids until she got pregnant for me. I began to suspect her adulterous ways
after she gave birth to our second child.
“She used to go out for two or three days, leaving the
children with neighbours.
“Her immoral affairs with her ex-husband came into open
recently when I caught her having sex with the man on our matrimonial bed.
“I beat the hell out of her that day but allowed the man
to go because unpleasant things might happen if I beat him.
“I decided for divorce in order to forget how I met her
with her ex-husband on my bed.”
Gbenga prayed the court to allow him to have the custody
of his children.
He said, “I promise to take good care of them.”
However, the respondent told the court that her estranged
husband was aware that she had two children before he met her.
She refused to respond to the allegation that she had sex
with her ex-husband on Gbenga’s matrimonial bed.
But, added that Gbenga beat her up on a regular besis.
She pleaded with the court to peacefully resolve the
conflict.
She said, “I am not ready to leave my matrimonial home and
my children.”
However, the President of the court, Chief Mukaila
Balogun, dissolved the marriage on the ground of lack of love.
He said in his ruling, “The opinion of the court is that
there is no more love between the parties based on the testimonies of the
couple.”
