The Agege Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Lagos State was recently stunned when a man begged that his marriage to his wife of eight years be dissolved.
Samuel Sunday, who claimed to be a member of the Deeper Life Bible Church in Lagos, appeared befor the court to seek the dissolution of his marriage to his wife, Rose.
Sunday, in his testimony before the court, alleged that his wife is promiscuous and beats him.
He further accused her of not meeting her responsibilities as a wife and mother since the onset of their marriage which is blessed with two children.
“My child and I don’t enjoy her because she’s never available whenever we need her. She’s always outside with other men.
“Anytime I give my wife feed allowance, she complains it’s not enough and would fight me. One day, she held my manhood, but for the intervention neighbours, she would have killed me.”
Sunday alleged further that since his wife began to work, she had denied him sex, and would always want things her way.
He stated that he is fed up with their union and therefore asked for the dissolution of the marriage.
Rose, a factory worker, however, told the court that her husband refused to allow her associate with their neighbours, adding that this usually caused the frequent quarrels between them.
Defending herself on the allegation that she once held on to her husband’s private part, she said, “I held his private part because he stripped me naked.”
She added that despite his harshness, she does not want to leave him and their children.
According to her, ‘’My husband beats me because I do not attend his church.”
She appealed to the court not to dissolve the marriage.
The case was adjourned for further hearing.
