Toyin Bello, a resident of Ibadan, Oyo state capital, has
narrated how she allowed another man to impregnate her in her husband’s house.
Testifying before a customary court in Ibadan on Friday,
Bello sought the dissolution of her 16-year-old marriage over her husband’s
“infertility”.
Bello had petitioned the court over how her husband starved
her of sex for 10 years.
She told the court that she had to get pregnant by someone
else as she could no longer bear the shame of childlessness.
“I got pregnant by someone to shield me husband from the
shame of childlessness. He refused me sex for 10 years. He also wants to kill
me so that he will inherit my house,” she said.
“I left my home and now live in a Church at Asi area in
Ibadan. My lord, I cannot continue to waste my time with Dotun, age is no
longer on my side, please dissolve our union.”
Henry Agbaje, president of the court, dissolved the marriage
and ordered Dotun to move out of the shared property within seven days.
He also said any attempt to cause a breach of peace would be
treated as a criminal offence.
Dotun, however, opposed the suit, and asked the court to
plead with his wife.
“I agree that I have a medical condition which prevents me
from having a child. She also locked me out of her room,” he said.
