An estranged wife, Toyin Ogunminiyi, on Tuesday urged a customary
court sitting in Ikole-Ekiti to help effect the release of her six
pants in her husband’s possession.
Other personal belongings the complainant sought for retrieval
from her husband, Tope, included two native dresses, one jeans
skirt and a plastic basin.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the woman also prayed the court to dissolve her 20-year- old marriage.
She claimed that her husband was constantly beating her and
tearing her dresses in public, in addition to accusing her of
adultery.
The complainant, who described her husband as a drunk, said he had abandoned his family responsibilities.
She, however, sought the custody of their four children , urging
the court to compel her husband to give her N20,000 monthly feeding
allowance.
The plaintiff, who denied the allegation of adultery against her,
said she often engaged in menial jobs in order to cater for the family.
“My husband, a commercial motorcyclist, always spends his money on alcohol and his concubines.
”He does not take proper care of me and the children. I am
seeking the dissolution of our association as well as the release of my
pants in his house,” the estranged wife said.
But defending himself, the husband who did not deny his drinking habit, accused his wife of adultery.
”I do not want this woman again, she is adulterous,’’ he said.
The President of the three-man panel, Mrs Yemisi Ojo, adjourned the matter till Feb. 6 for further hearing.
