AGEGE, Lagos, Nigeria – A heartless man in his fifties, Folorunsho Oyedele, today told a Magistrate Court sitting in Agege that he can only afford N15,000 as final alimony in a divorce suit brought against his wife Mojisola. Folorunsho, who urged the court to dissolve his six-year-old marriage to Mojisola for alleged threat to life and lack of love, told the court that he was no more interested in the childless marriage. The petitioner, a printer who resides at Agege area of Lagos, claimed that his wife is fetish.
“Mojisola is diabolical and fetish, she always comes home with charms and my fear is that she may kill me one day if I do not end the marriage.”
According to him, sometime in June 2018, l suddenly had issues with my eye sight and was bedridden with a strange illness. Folorunsho described his wife as an arrogant and insulting woman.
“My wife likes hurling insults at me and always threatening to deal with me saying she will show me that she is from Ijebu Igbo. He urged the court to end the marriage as he was no longer in love with her. In her response, Mojisola, a pepper seller who lives at Ojodu- Berger, an outskirts of Lagos, denied all the allegations laid against her.
She claimed that she only does divinations for protection and to boost their business. The respondent, however, consented to the dissolution of the marriage, saying “I am also fed up with the union. She appealed to the court to urge the petitioner to settle her financially so as to start life a fresh The petitioner who had earlier refused to settle his wife insisted on only paying her N15,000 saying he cannot do more than that.
The court president, Mrs Patricia Adeyanju urged the estranged couple to maintain peace and adjourned the case until March 5 for judgment. (NAN)
