He also contended that his wife is having an affair with their next door neighbor and that his neighbor’s wife had to warn his wife to leave her husband alone. Giving an instance of adultery on his wife’s part, he said that on one occasion, his wife was caught with a Celestial Church pastor in a hotel, when he was on night duty.
He also told the court that his wife is always destroying his things whenever they have a misunderstanding, and that she would sometimes seize his documents, ID card and driver’s license. He said that he did not pay any dowry on his wife and wants the court to grant him a divorce. Raliat Awoyode, in her response, said that her husband’s claims are not true, as she is not a hostile person.
She also said that when her husband’s children and some other relatives came to their house, they all lived together without problems. She stated further that when he is going to work, he would give her N200 as feeding allowance for nine people.
She claimed that he is only accusing her of adultery because he wants to be free to marry the lady that he is dating currently. She also said that her husband once beat her up when he brought another woman to the house. She said that the court should not dissolve the marriage as she still loves her husband.
The court president adjourned the case till Monday, 9th September 2013. The couple lived together for 15years and have three children.
