Office Sex Wrecks Woman’s Marriage.
The marriage of a female manager with the Law Union and Rock Insurance Plc, has been wrecked after she was accused by her husband of sleeping with two persons, one of them, a director in the organisation and the other a client of the same organisation.
Charity Chineye Ogugwa was accused by her husband, Fidelis Chukwunwike Ogugwa, of infidelity and has therefore gone to a high court presided over by Justice Williams Dawodu to seek the dissolution of their marriage.
According to Ogugwa, the situation has gone beyond redemption as the woman, who bore him two children, Grace and Chibuzor, has been engaging in unprotected sex with these two men.
He also alleged that she also engaged in oral sex with the men who the husband identified as Olusegun Augustine Ilori and another client of the company.
She confessed this to her husband, Chukwunwike alleged.
Narrating the entire story in a petition seeking the dissolution of their 16-year old marriage, the man said he got married to the woman at the marriage registry in Lagos in 1994 and that they both lived at 126, Ilogbo Road, Sabo-Ajangbadi, Ojo area of the state, but they later moved to 65B, Odaliki Street, Ebutte-Metta.
He said he started suspecting his wife when the woman would excuse herself to receive phone calls at odd hours in 2003. He then became watchful and decided to follow the issue carefully.
In the petition, he further disclosed that “sometime between December 2003 and February 2004, the petitioner Ogugwa found an amorous text message from the first respondent Ilori to his wife.
As for Onisoya, the petitioner said his wife was also locked in an internet amorous chatting resulting in the exchange of photographs between the two on the net in 2008.
The husband said when he confronted his wife over the accusation, the woman confessed to having an adulterous and unprotected sex including oral sex with the two men who are also married since 2004 to date.
Ogugwa is now asking the court to also grant him custody of the two children after the dissolution of the marriage.
He is also seeking the court to award him N20 million being damages to be paid to him by the two men for the trespass and trauma they made him pass through, for their irresponsibility and the role they played in ruining his matrimonial home.
When the matter came up yesterday, Justice Dawodu adjourned hearing till Tuesday, 12 April this year.
Meanwhile, the case has taken another dimension as Olusegun Ilori, the accused Executive Director, has also sued Ogugwa before a high court sitting in Lagos for defamation of character.
According to him in an affidavit, “on 21 September 2010, a day before the Annual General Meeting of the Law Union and Rock Insurance Company, an unscrupulous culprit sent a malicious text from the number 08169406977 to key Board members of Law union and Rock Insurance Plc.”
He said the content of the text message reads As you get ready for your AGM in the city hall, watch oga Segun Ilori. He is not who you think he is.
He is a therefore seeking a court order to stop Ogugwa from circulating materials that tend to damage his reputation and to pay him N100 million as damages.
He is also seeking a retraction of previously circulated materials by Ogugwa and payment of another N1 million being cost of instituting the action.

But he was shocked that none of his accomplices came to bail him.
When the matter came up for hearing, the complainant was not in court.
However, he pleaded with the court to release him because he had now repented.
Eugene said he will not go back to crime if set free.
The court ruled that since the complainant had not shown interest in the matter and because of the plea of the defendant, the matter was subsequently struck out.
