A 61-year-old woman, Wuraola, has accused her 67 year old husband, Samuel Ogunleye of always talking too much and constantly raining curses on her.
Wuraola told the Alakuko Customary Court in Lagos State that the 40-year-old union has been fractured resulting in needless fights between the couple.
“From the outset, we constantly fought over trivial issues. Each time he offended me, he apologised but it has not changed his unruly behaviour. On several occasions, when my husband brings women to the house, I usually excuse them without uttering a word. My husband is in the habit of telling neighbours each time we had sex.
“His attitude is repulsive. He slaps me each time I talk. I first brought the case before the court in 2004, but it was struck out because he failed to appear. He said I am not useful but I have been responsible for payment of our rent since 2006.
“Our children are in support of our divorce because he rains curses on them whenever they complained about his attitude. I am getting older. All I want is peace of mind. If I still love him, I won’t be saying all this.”
However, Samuel is insisting on having his wife back. He said, “I love her and I have also stopped beating her. She has failed to give our children proper upbringing. I am ready to vacate the house since she is fed up.”
Presiding over the case, Chief Awos Awosola, ordered that the couple should cease to be husband and wife, adding that Samuel must vacate his wife’s house.
