Daniel, who is resident in Oke-Afo village on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway is seeking the dissolution of his 10-year-old marriage to his wife, Yemi, based on allegations of misconduct.
Testifying during the hearing, Daniel said that on Feb. 25, he went early to Festac town to see his brother, only to see his wife emerging from a road in the vicinity with a man.
He said that he was shocked to see her as she had claimed to be heading for a vigil and he knew her church to be along the Oke-Afo axis, not some 40-kilometres away in Festac town, Lagos.
Daniel told the court that he immediately crossed over and stopped Yemi and her partner, but she said she had gone for the vigil in the Festac district of her church and introduced the man as the District Pastor.
He said that after the incident, his wife continued to leave home frequently-- under the pretext of attending night vigil-- until March 13, when he acted on a tip-off from a neighbour, and caught her with a man.
The petitioner said on that day, he went to the area where his wife’s church was located only to discover her in an inner room with the same man she had earlier introduced to him as a pastor.
Daniel said that his wife was adjusting herself when he came in and he almost hit the pastor but ended up just giving him a stern warning to stay away from his wife.He alleged that on several occasions, he had also bumped into his wife coming from unknown destinations at odd hours.
Daniel said that he had beaten his wife several times due to her misconduct but she had continued and he could no longer stand her adulterous behaviour.
Yemi, a cloth seller, however, denied the allegations saying he was only looking for a way to get another wife.
She alleged that her husband had beaten her several times for not providing him with some of the money she was making from her trading.
The president of the court, Alhaji Toyin Said, after listening to the duo, adjourned the case to April 3, for judgement.

Rubbish!!! who has the final say? lawyer or GOD? its not new anyway but man be careful because such woman could come out with a funny thing poison or any other funny thing that can cause your life. man, ones again, BE CAREFULL!!!
ReplyDeleteThe average Yoruba woman is an unrepentant adultress (apology to the few innocent ones)and I expect this man to have known that. If he cant cope with an adultrous wife its better for him to quit instead of beating her up time after time. He may enter serious trouble if he end up harming her.
ReplyDeleteI will like to know the final judgement.
ReplyDeleteThe man is broke. He therefore lack the capacity to be a husband. It is also wrong for the woman to go to church that the husband did not approve, the said pastor may be a cancellor but a wrong one. What is he doing with an another man's wife alone
It is only a lazy man that can carry torch-light and be looking for one woman up and down. Let the woman go her way and he can marry another one. (2)If he face his work , and become rich, she will strugle to come back. It is not only yoruba woman alone. But all women have the tendency if the husband can not take care of them FINACIALLY, SEXUALLY and SPRITUALLY. He lack what the woman wants and he can't force her
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 9:10am,you have said it all.Most of our people are too sexy and it clear that one man cannot cope with them sexually.Yes,we have to tell ourselves the truth.One should know the type of wife he is taking to avoid this sort of incidence that has become common.A persons religion or status does not matter here.She can even be a pastor or prophet.Our Women have high sexual drive which they find difficult to control.They have very high libido.One just has to pray and be careful in choosing a wife.O to!
ReplyDeleteThis is not a matter of a tribe!All tribes,all races have people with this attitude.It's not common to only women,men commit adultery too.Man that is befriending a woman of a particular tribe by the virtue of staying in a certain community will say the women of that tribe are wayward.God Himself should give one his/her own partner.This adulterous act is common everywhere now!
ReplyDeletePeople should look inward before blaming their spouse. a man or woman that is a failure knows that he/she is failing but expect the other to continue to accommodate failure. if your wife is going out, ask yourself where you've gone wrong and make amend before its too late. we should stop talking each other for granted.
