A 51- year-old man, Mr. Lukman Agoro, was alleged to have thrown his wife, Sadiat, out of their matrimonial home for giving birth to a baby girl.
Sadiat, who was dragged before an Agege customary court by her husband for not allowing him to see his child, however said that Lukman had warned her earlier that she should not venture to give birth to a baby girl if she wanted to live under the same roof with him.
She added that her husband once vowed that he would not be involved in the upbringing of the child and that she ( Sadiat ) would raise the child at her parents house. The wife also informed the court that barely three months after she gave birth to her daughter, Lukman threw her belongings out, and claimed that he didn’t have interest in the relationship any longer.
” To my surprise, Lukman came to my parents house when my daughter was exactly one year old claiming that he wanted to mark the little girl’s birthday”.
She added that her daughter ran away from him, because she didn’t know him as a father. In his submission, Lukman told the court that his mother-in-law didn’t like his face, adding that she didn’t want her daughter to live with him as his wife.
He therefore pleaded that the court should dissolve the marriage and grant him custody of the girl. Meanwhile, the case was adjourned till October 24, 2012 for further hearing.

The man should be openly given seven lashes in his buttocks. Who determines a child's sex? He is an illierate.
ReplyDeleteWell if this story is true, I hope the court doesn't grant this man custody of the girl. He could end up assaulting the little girl. Such an individual apart from being an illiterate sounds like a monster.
ReplyDeleteHe is a fool, they shouldn't grant him access 2 d child. He should go n look 4 a woman dat will giv him a male child as he knows how 2 produce 1
ReplyDeleteThe man is mad, he don't want a female child, if his mother in-law did not give birth to a female child will he see a wife to marry or if they did not give birth to his mother will they give birth to him? who is he to decide for God? pls court don't grant him custody of the girl, he is evil.
ReplyDeleteIf the man whole heartedly is willing to to accept the responsibilities of the child's up-bringing, the court must make sure the he first of all whole heartedly accept the woman back as his wife. Önly God gives children.
