The nine years old marriage of an alleged randy
man has crashed because he allegedly
impregnated his wife’s cousin. The wife, Mrs.
Adenike Oye, who petitioned an Ado-Ekiti
Customary Court and sought for divorce ,
alleged that her husband , Mr. Oye impregnated
her cousin, Tosin who had been living with
them over the years.
According to her, the cousin was helping them
in domestic and other menial works at home.
The petitioner also prayed the court to dissolve
their marriage on ground of frequent fighting,
lack of care for her and the children by her
estranged husband.
Her words: “I had two kids for him aside from
the two that are alive now. It is very painful
and unfortunate that I lost the two kids and
that is why the one my cousin has for the
respondent is now older than another two kids
which I have for him.”
She said her husband is a driver and that he
had never been responsible, adding that the
respondent used to womanise and that he used
to go out at his own will and come back late to
house.
She urged the court to dissolve the marriage
and allow the children to be under her custody
for proper care. She, however, prayed the
court to order that the respondent should be
responsible for the children’s upkeep and
education at all levels.
Delivering his judgement, the President of the
court, Mr. Joseph Ogunseemi said, based on
the testimony of the petitioner, it was clear to
the court that she had been maltreated by the
husband, with her kids. Consequently, he
dissolved the marriage and ordered that the
respondent must be paying N5,000 on each
child every month for the upkeep of the two
children starting from October, 2013.
The petitioner said her husband could have
access to his children whenever he wishes to
visit them but must notify them of his coming.
The respondent, who was said to have absented
himself from the court in previous invitations
and therefore was deemed to have admitted all
the allegations levelled against him in the open
court.
