A trader, Temitope Folorunso, on Wednesday asked an Ikorodu
Customary Court, Lagos, to dissolve her 12-year-old marriage, alleging
attempt by her husband to use her for ritual.
Temitope, 32, of Ebunoluwa St., Ikorodu, had approached the court to
dissolve her union to Soji on the grounds of alleged threat to life and
constant battering.
“My husband tried to use me for ritual that was why I left the house two weeks ago.
“There was a time he told me that I should follow him to his herbalist to make some atonement for him to be successful in life.
“Last month, he called me and told me that am too old for him,’’ the petitioner said.
The estranged husband, Soji, 37, a land developer, of Lajobo St.,
Offin, Ikorodu, while denying the claims, urged the court to grant his
wife wish.
“All she said is not true. She is just looking for a way out.
“This is not her first time of packing out of the house. I know one
of her boyfriends that is promising her marriage. If she wants to leave
me, the court should let her go,’’ Soji told the court.
The marriage is blessed with three children.
The President of the Court, Alhaja Risikat Adesanya, advised the couple on the need for reconciliation.
“Judgment is fixed for May 28 to enable the couple to seek possible reconciliation ,” Adesanya said.

Why do Yoruba women like having boyfriends outside marriage? It is too prevalent with them.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite wrong of you to generalize, based on the behaviour of a few within a community, tribe or country. You will be deemed to be committing fallacy of small samples.
ReplyDeleteHe who lives in a glass house does not throw stones; a word of caution.
If you were right to say "Yoruba women like having boyfriends outside marriage", then it will be right for any non-Nigerian to call ALL Nigerians 419ners or dupes.
ReplyDeleteUse your brain my friend!
They like having boyfriends outside marriage because their husbands are busy having children with different women outside wedlock
