A 29-year-old plank seller has pleaded with a Grade A Customary Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, to dissolve her three-year-old marriage, alleging that her husband was threatening her life.
The petitioner, Oluwakemi Fatai, told the court that her husband,Saheed Fatai, a surveyor, had always battered her and did not care for the family.
I have been responsible our child upkeep… My husband does not know the school his child attends,” Oluwakemi submitted.
She said she packed out of their matrimonial home in October 2009, to leave with her mother, after she (petitioner) discovered that her husband had a child from another woman before they got married.
She said she moved out of her matrimonial home after her husband rejected reconciliation moves initiated by her parents.
Fatai, 31, consented to the dissolution of the marriage, saying that he was no longer interested in the relationship.
President of the court, Remi Adesanya, blamed the respondent for being an irresponsible father.
She, however, adjourned the case till Aug. 11 for judgment.
