My wife threatens to one day hand our three kids to their real father —Husband

A customary court in Mapo, Ibadan, has dissolved the eight-year marriage between an estate surveyor Adedolapo Aderibigbe, and wife, Mayowa over adultery and threat to life.

President of the court Ademola Odunade announced the dissolution on Thursday.

Mr Odunade, who said the issues of infidelity and threat to life in marriages were assuming worrisome dimensions, added that there was a need for spouses to fear God in their relationships.

“Custody of the three children produced by the union is granted to Mayowa, while Adedolapo shall pay a monthly feeding allowance of N12,000 for the children’s feeding, in addition to being responsible for their education and other welfare needs,” Odunade said.

Reacting earlier to his wife’s accusation of battery and threat to life, Mr
Aderibigbe told the court that his wife was merely hiding under the disguise of catering as a profession to fornicate.

The respondent, who did not refute the allegation of battery against him, contended that Mayowa had often informed him that she would, one day, hand over the three children to their real father.

“In fact, I recently caught Mayowa with a man on top of her, but she publicly knelt down for me in front of a crowd of people, asking for forgiveness and never to return into prostitution again,” Aderibigbe said.

But Mayowa had insisted that her husband was threatening her with dangerous objects.

“He usually began his act of violence at midnight, attacking me with all sorts of dangerous objects such as knife, broken bottle, sticks and so on; and would not leave me until he must have inflicted injuries on me,” she said.
