The president of Ile Tuntun Customary Court, Mapo Hall, Ibadan, Oyo State, Chief Agbaje Henry Olasunkanmi, has advised and also given Mr Wasiu Akinkunbi and his wife, Mrs Idayat Ajile, an opportunity to resolve their differences before giving for judgement in their divorce case.
The plaintiff, Idayat, had asked the court
to dissolve her 22-year-old marriage to her husband, Wasiu, for alleged
constant quarrels, threats, to kill her and lack of care. The marriage produced
seven children.
Idayat also accused her husband of lack of
respect and recognition for her family members. She said, “he abuses them and
I’m not happy about it.”
Responding to his wife’s allegations
against him, Wasiu told the court: “She is wayward. She travels and I know but
it was unfortunate that she got pregnant for another man. I asked her about the
pregnancy but she refused to tell me the truth up till now and that resulted in
the quarrel between us. But I reported to her sister. In addition to this, she
has not allowed me to have sex with her since two weeks ago.
“I want the court to ask her about the
pregnancy,” Wasiu said.
The case was, however, adjourned till
October 19 for further hearing. Both partied were asked to come with their
family members.
