MAN, 55, SEEKS DIVORCE OVER WIFE’S SEIZURE OF CAR KEY
A
55-year-old businessman, Shola Akande, approached an Igando Customary Court in
Lagos State on Wednesday seeking to end his 13-year-old marriage to his wife,
Omolade, because she seized his car key. “My wife seized my car key; she was
claiming I bought a car for a girlfriend.
“I begged her to give me my car key; she refused, her family
intervened by pleading with her to release the car key to me but their plea fell
on deaf ears,” he said. He said that his wife, Omolade, used to fight him a
lot, adding that she had turned his clothes to rags as she used to tear them
whenever she was fighting him.
“My wife derived pleasure in tearing my clothes whenever she
was fighting me, there was a day she tore my clothes in the presence of her
father,” he said. The embittered husband also accused his wife of stealing his
money all the time. “My wife stole my money in the house and also burgled my
office where she stole all the money in my drawer,” he said.
Shola said that his wife always accused him of infidelity,
saying; “anytime my wife sees me with any woman, she will be fighting and
accusing me of dating them. “I am a businessman, I sell land, and both men and
women come or call to buy land or building from me.
“My wife once seized my phones after I received a call; when
she thought I was talking to a woman,” he said. Akande told the court that his
wife had no respect for him and even for her father.
“My wife does not respect me nor her father, anytime her
father invites her over to his place to settle our fight or advice her, she
will not listen. “Due of her stubbornness, her father once advised me to seek
dissolution of the marriage,” he said.
He, therefore, begged the court to dissolve his 13 year-old
marriage which had not produced any child, saying he did not love her anymore.
“Please terminate the marriage that had nothing to show for both now and the
future,” he begged the court. READ MORE
