A woman, Adedoyin Agunbiade, has told Oja Oba/ Mapo Court C Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, she’s no more interested in her wedlock to her husband, Ezekiel Agunbiade.
Adedoyin who dragged her husband to court accused him of irresponsibility, battery, and threat.
The plaintiff told the court that her 17-year-old marriage to her husband was filled with a crisis. She, therefore, pleaded for it to be dissolved and the custody of their four children granted her so that she could give them adequate care.
Ezekiel admitted to claiming to state that Adedoyin’s leaving him is good riddance to bad rubbish. According to him, she always insisted I pay before she allows me sex with her.
“My lord, I’m tired of the bondage I walked into 17 years ago called marriage, “Adedoyin told the court.
“Ezekiel turned me into the drum he beats every now and then. Hardly does a day pass without him beating me to a pulp.
“We always fight because he is irresponsible and regularly shirks his responsibilities towards me and our children.
“My lord, my husband is indifferent to our children’s welfare. I, therefore, toil day and night to meet their needs.
“Ezekiel has never been interested in our children’s education. I’m the one paying their school fees.
“One of them gained admission into secondary school and I informed him. I explained to him in detail the financial implication of this but he bluntly told me he was not interested in his education.
“Ezekiel goes irate anytime I call his attention to his responsibilities at home. He has often threatened to set my shop ablaze and make me wretched.
“I do report him to his parents and mine but he has refused to listen to their counsel because he has no regard for them.
“My lord, I’ve stopped loving my husband a long time ago. I no longer want to continue our marriage.
