A wife in Ibadan filed for a divorce from her husband because she believes he tried to use her for money rituals and also on the grounds that he is an unfit parent.
The couple were granted the divorce.
Mrs Nike Akinbile is a resident of Olunloye in Ibadan and she gave a testimony before the court where she was seeking divorce from her husband Mr. Femi AkÂinbile.
She said:-
âFor the past two years now, Femi has been making frantic effort to get rich at all cost and I am his primaÂry target for that purpose.â
âNot too long ago, I was just lying on the bed, Femi thought that I had slept off, so he attempted to strike my eyelids with traditional eyeÂliner also known as tiro.â
âI have received several visions that he wants to use me as a sacrificial lamb for the ritual he is making and I donât want to die now,ââ she alleged.â
Nike begged the court to dissolve their 11 year-old marriage also on that grounds also accused Femi did not care for their three children.
Femi denied all the allegaÂtions and opÂposed the divorce because he says the children will suffer in the event of any divorce.
He said:-
âYour honour, I have suffered greatly all this while to sustain the marÂriage.
I was the one that sent her to school and made her self-employed.â
âFor Nikeâs education, I enrolled, wrote her examiÂnations for her as well as suÂpervise her other academic pursuits.
In order to be well balÂanced in life, I encouraged her to learn tailoring which is her source of livelihood today.â
âAs if those are not enough, I buy Nike all sorts of ladiesâ make ups to make her look beautiful and good, but Nike does not use any of the things like shoes, bags, clothes, and so on.
Instead, Nike always tell me that she must take them to the church for cleansing and eventually dumped them.ââ
The courtâs President, Mr HenÂric Agbaje, granted Nikeâs request and approved the divorce.
He said:-
âWell, since Nike has reÂfused to be pacified to setÂtling the dispute amicably, the court has no other opÂtion than to put an end to the union.â
This goes to show that we should always be careful who we chose a spouse.
