The President of Mapo Customary Court, Mr Ademola Odunade in Ibadan, on Thursday, dissolved a 16-year-old marriage between Bunmi and her husband, Ayoola Makinwa, over issues bordering on drunkenness and irresponsibility.
Advising the court audience before his ruling, Odunade said men and women should be very prayerful when they were about to choose life partners in order not to fall into wrong hands.
Narrating Bunmi’s ordeal, Bunmi who earns her livelihood as a business woman, said her husband, Ayoola, was a drunkard as well as irresponsible.
“Ayoola pays more attention to the consumption of beer than his responsibility as a father to his children and as my husband.
“In fact, he is more of a curse to the children than a blessing because Ayoola has exposed us to hunger due to his inability to control his urge for beer.
“I have had to park away from his home on a number of occasions due to the ill-treatment of the family, but my mother kept on advising me to endure with him.
”Now, I am completely frustrated, I no longer love Ayoola; I have since left his home one and a half year ago,” Bunmi stated.
Ayoola who seemed unready to go through the divorce turned down the plea by his wife. He remained silent on all the allegations levelled against him.
Ayoola who works as a commercial motorcyclist said.
“My lord, Bunmi has no spirit of endurance because anytime there is any minor disagreement between us, she parks out of the house but I still love her,” he pleaded.
