My wife sleeps with different men in our home - Man laments

An 88-year-old man, who gave his name as Gbeminiyi Adeyiga, on Thursday told an Ikorodu Customary Court in Lagos that his wife of 30 years sleeps with different men right in their home.

Adeyiga pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage over his wife’s alleged infidelity and lack of care.

Adeyiga resides at No. 3, Adeyiga St., off Munirat Aleje Street in Ikorodu.

He also told court that his wife was also threatening to kill him.

He said,

“My wife does not take care of me any longer; she does not give me good food and different men come to sleep with her in our home.

“She frustrates me and she wants to kill me, I don’t want to die now, please separate us.‎”

The respondent, a 55-year-old woman named Sekinat, who is also a trader, denied the allegations made by her husband.

She said that she still loved her husband and would want the marriage to continue, while pleading with the court to deny her husband’s request.

She pleaded,

“I beg the court to settle us. He has never caught me with a man. He always suspected my every move to the extent that he smells my pants whenever I go out and come back.

“I want this court to settle this matter I am not ready for divorce.”

In his verdict, the President of the court, Mrs Funmi Adeola, advised Sekinat to stop misbehaving and to take good care of her husband.

The matter was adjourned until Nov. 30 for judgment.
