Obeji accused and called her husband, who had failed to appear in court after being summoned severally, an ingrate.
“Ezekiel is ungrateful and I now know that he never truly loved me; he was only after my money.
“When he approached me for marriage, he was jobless, but when he pleaded with me to allow him join me in my business, I accepted.
“After our wedding, he took over the business from me,” she said.
She also alleged that her husband turned her into a punching bag, almost beating her to the point of death within the few months of their living together.
She, therefore, pleaded with the court to dissolve the union, saying she was no longer in love and that she would like to move on with her life.
The court president, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, ordered the petitioner to submit an affidavit of service that would enable the court to continue with the matter despite the respondent’s absence.
Omilola, however, adjourned the case to Aug. 30 for further hearing.
