A civil servant in Ondo State, Mr. Adebayo Ojo has
asked an Akure Customary court to dissolve his 17
year-old marriage with his wife, Ebunoluwa over
alleged of infidelity.
Love-gone-sour
Besides, Ojo also expressed his distress over the
attitude of his three children toward him, accusing
the defendant of turning them against him.
The plaintiff told the court that he could no longer
cope with marriage because he has on several
occasions caught his wife with several men on their
matrimonial bed.
He added that his wife was found of making
suspicious phone calls during the day and midnight,
saying "these are evidences that would attest to the
fact that my wife is a prostitute"
Ojo also accused his wife of being disrespectful and
refused to show any remorse about her behaviour.
Ebunoluwa while defending herself said all the men
claimed to be her concubines by her husband were
just people she worked with as a labourer.
She said she regretted of marrying her husband,
who she believed has two wives but later
discovered his wives were eight.
The defendant noted that the children were only
angry with their father over his failure to perform his
responsibility as a father.
However, the Customary President, Mr. Olayinka
Falodun, while adjourning the case till November 4,
asked the two parties to bring two of their relatives
each to the court.
