He has never slept with me overnight —Wife
A dealer in
auto spare part, Rasheed Adekola has asked a Grade C Customary Court, sitting
at Agodi Gate Ibadan, Oyo State to dissolve his four-year-old marriage to
his wife Tawa, for allegedly being troublesome and fetish.
Adekola claimed he had previously been married but that his former wife bore
him no children, adding that Tawa has made him a father of one.
“I courted her for a long time before I put her in the family way. She had been married before and had two children from her first marriage. Immediately she got pregnant, I rented a room for her at the Olodo area of Ibadan,” he said.
He added that upon getting accommodation for Tawa, a lot of problems set in.
“She was always hostile anytime I visited her and I reported this to her mum about three occasions but there have been no changes,” he told the court.
Adekola also said Tawa always picked quarrel with her neighbours and was fond of tearing their clothes to shreds.
The height of the assault, according to Adekola’s claim in court was when he went to the hospital to seek remedy to a bleeding ailment.
“For five days, she didn’t see me and I told her all I went through on account of bleeding. Rather than pity me, she told me I had seen nothing yet and tore my clothes into pieces. She later came to beg me in company with her friends, just because she needed me to sign a loan form of which I am her guarantor,” he said.
Adekola also stated that he stumbled on a black soap and calabash inside Tawa’s room suggesting that she was indulging in fetish ways.
However, the defendant, Tawa, objected to the divorce because she was tired of changing husbands.
Tawa, who sells body creams at the Ogunpa market in Ibadan, told the court that she wondered why her husband would make such accusations against her.
“I do whatever he commands, I don’t fight anybody. Rather, it is he who fights with me any time I ask him to take me to his family members. Moreover, as a husband, he has never slept with me overnight. However, I beg everybody seated here in court to help me beg him for forgiveness,’’ said Tawa.
At this point, president of the court, Alhaji Amusa Makinde urged both parties to maintain calm in the interest of their child while adjourning the case till January 13.
