Woman seeks divorce over Husband failure to attend Church
A Woman identified as Adenike Oladejo has approached a Customary Court sitting in Idi-Ogungun, Agodi Ibadan, seeking dissolution of her nine years marriage with her husband, Samuel Oladejo, over his refusal to attend Church with her.
According to a NAN report, Adenike, testified in court on Friday, that she cried every day because of the kind of life her husband was living.
The plaintiff said her husband was a drunkard and will always come home late, adding that the defendant did not care about her welfare and that of the only child of the marriage.
She described her husband as “a stubborn and irresponsible family head who preferred spending his money on alcohol alone.
She further said.
“I regret marrying him because my parents warned me not to marry him but I did not obey them due to the blind love I had for him.

“I pleaded with him on many occasions to be going to Church, with the aim of repenting from his bad ways of life but he refused.
“My Lord, separate us, I can no longer stay with a man who does not know God but live a sinful lifestyle.”
The defendant, on the other hand, agreed to divorce his wife. However, he accused her of abandoning him when he became broke.
He said “the court should grant her request but she did not seek for divorce when I had money and things were going on smoothly for me.
“It is now that she wants a divorce because I hardly feed her and cater for her needs and our kid because I don’t have the means.”

Presiding over the case, the president of the court, Chief Mukaila Balogun, dissolved the marriage, saying evidence submitted by both parties proved that they both agreed to the separation.
Balogun finally gave custody of the only child of the marriage to the plaintiff with an order that the defendant should pay a monthly sum of N3,000 monthly for the child’s upkeep.
