My husband puts me on marathon sex for ritual, woman tells court

A 3-year-old marriage between Tawakalitu Adeoye and Hakeem was on Wednesday dissolved over threat to life and ritual making.

President of a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan Ademola Odunade held that the court does not joke with any issue that had to do with life, hence the need for the dissolution.

“In the interest of peaceful living, the union between the duo has ceased to be.

“Custody of the three-year-old child produced by the union is awarded to Tawakalitu and Hakeem shall pay a monthly allowance of N5,000 for the child’s upkeep in addition to been responsible for her education and other welfare,”  Mr Odunade said.

Narrating her ordeal, Tawakalitu, a fashion designer who resides at Academy area of Ibadan, said that her husband had stylishly embarked on a marathon sexual intercourse with her with the intention of using her for ritual.

“Each time he finished with me, I felt weak, subdued, restless and completely shattered physically and psychologically.

“Until I made the discovery, Hakeem had planted a charm (Tira) under my pillow for two good weeks without my knowledge and I had laid my head on it.

“Then, I reported him at Eleyele Police Headquarter in Ibadan, but he pleaded with the police to prevail on me not to implicate him,” she said.

Hakeem refuted all the allegations leveled against him while consenting to the divorce suit.

The respondent who earned his living as a muslim cleric submitted that his wife merely cooked up what she said so as to get sympathy of the court.

“In fact, she and her secret lovers usually chat in mypresence every night,” he said.
