Nigerian Husband Seeks The Dissolution Of His Marriage On Grounds Of Wify Keeping Late Nights, Lack Of Respect For His Family, ........

A 53-year-old man, Mr Bankole Agbetuyi, on Tuesday urged an Ado-Ekiti Customary Court to dissolve his 11-year-old marriage to his wife, Bukola. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Bankole is seeking the dissolution on grounds of battery, keeping late nights as well as lack of respect for his family and care for the children.

 

The father of two told the court that he had been cooking for himself and the children because his wife was always keeping late nights. He also urged the court to grant him the custody of the children. Bukola, however, denied the allegations levelled against her, saying that her husband was in the habit of beating her always based on flimsy excuses.

 

She said that her husband sent her and the children out of the house, saying he would set ablaze her belongings. The 35-year-old urged the court to grant her the custody of the children, saying her husband could not pay their school fees. The President of the Court, Mr Joseph Ogunsemi, adjourned the case till Aug. 24 for judgment. (NAN)
