My husband refused to be responsible, leaving my care and that of our child to his parents. All he does is to sleep with me, without any form of protection, and wanting me to conceive another child, while he remained jobless. I have moved out of his house due to constant beating, lack of love and care

IKEJA, Lagos, Nigeria – An undergraduate student of National Teachers Institute, Kaduna, Fatimo Akinwunmi(25) Thursday, dragged her husband before an Agege Customary Court , begging the court to end her four-year-old marriage to Sadiq Akinwumi before he snuffs life out of her.
The petitioner told the court that her husband is unloving and has turned her into a punching bag . Besides, she said that her husband is irresponsible and obsessed with sex.
“My husband refused to be responsible, leaving my care and that of our child to his parents. All he does is to sleep with me, without any form of protection, and wanting me to conceive another child, while he remained jobless,’’ she said, adding that she moved out of her house due to constant beatings and lack of love and care.
She told the court that she had to move out of her matrimonial home to her parents’ home to remain alive.
“I am no longer interested in the union. This our marriage has broken down irretrievably, as there has been no love and peace since the inception of the marriage. My husband does not care for me and beats me habitually. He doesn’t know his responsibility in feeding and clothing his family,’’ she said.
But Sadiq was absent in court and had no representation. The court president, Mr Philip Williams, however, adjourned the case till September 14, 2017.
