Kolawole, who prayed for the dissolution of his 15-year-old
marriage on grounds that his wife was into black magic, said he did everything
possible to please her. but it was not enough.
“I abandoned the home to her after she confessed to me,” he
said.
He also presented the recorded conversation between his wife and the alleged witch doctor as exhibit before the court.
In her defense, Faseyitan told the court that she never
wished death on her husband.
According to her, “all I wanted was to him in bondage and
make him sick, until he serves his purpose.”
”I only told the witch doctor to do it in such a way that
people would be convinced that his second wife was responsible for the calamity
that befell him,” she said.

Odunade, dissolved the marriage after Faseyitan admitted that she asked a witch
doctor to ”tie her husband spiritually to milk him dry”.

and granted custody of the two children to Faseyitan.
