A 50-year-old mechanic, Gafau Shogaolu, on Friday begged an
Iyana-Ipaja Customary Court, to dissolve his 25-year-old marriage to his wife, Maria,
for alleged adulterous and fetish lifestyle.
Gafau, of No. 13, Sijuade St., Abesan, Ipaja, Lagos, told
the court that his wife once left him for another man and came back 15 years
after, pleading for a second chance.
“My wife had a child for me before she left for another man,
and came back 15 years after, begging me to take her back, which I did.
“I married another woman while she was away. When she came
back, I got an apartment for her.
“I introduced her to the herbalist that took deliveries of the three children she gave
birth to after she came back.
“Unknown to me, my wife went back and started having an
affair with the herbalist,” he said.
Gafau told the court that he once caught his wife when she
was about to enter the herbalist’s car.
“After my younger brother told me about my wife’s
infidelity, I decided to keep a close watch on her. I caught her when she was
about to enter the herbalist’s car.
“I reported the case at a police station and the herbalist
was made to write an undertaken twice, never to call and have a secret affair
with her again,” he said.
The petitioner further accused his wife of being fetish and
failed in her responsibility to take care of the children.
“My wife is fetish. There was a time I found a padlock tied
with a red cloth in her wardrobe.
“One of our children also found a small gourd in her
wardrobe and brought it to me. My life is no longer save, please separate us,”
he begged the court.
Maria, 44, a businesswoman, denied being fetish and
adulterous, but admitted that the herbalist asked her out.
“I am not having an affair with the herbalist, he only asked
me out and I rejected his offer. I felt it was not necessary to inform my
husband about the issue.
“I am not fetish. The small gourd is not mine. I asked
Michael, my younger brother, who came to pay me a visit and he said he is the
owner of the small gourd,” Maria told the court.
The respondent, however, urged the court to save her
marriage and reconcile her to her husband.
The President of the court, Mr Adekunle Hassan, urged the
husband to allow his wife to remain in his apartment until the case is disposed
off.
Hassan urged the wife to ensure that there was peace in the
house, adding she would be held responsible if anything happens to her husband.
He adjourned the petition until May 22.
These two were looking for who will settle them.
Go and live in peace...
But herbalist took delivery of her babies?
Odiegwu ooo!!!
