A Nyanya Customary Court in Abuja has dissolved the 16-year-old marriage between a clergyman, Peter John, and his wife, Lucia, over the latter’s temperament.
The court president, Mr Jemilu Jega, ruling, granted John’s request, stating that the union had collapsed irretrievably.
He said the court had tried everything within its powers to resolve the issues between the parties, adding that all efforts failed.
“The irreconcilable differences between the two parties showed that they are no longer compatible; therefore, the marriage is hereby dissolved, ’’Jega said.
He, however, gave custody of the four children in the marriage to their mother, saying their father was often travelling as a missionary.
Jega also ordered John to pay N50, 000 monthly for the upkeep of the children and be responsible for their education and healthcare.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), John had earlier told the court that his wife is hot tempered and often engages in quarrels with him.
