My wife is troublesome, destructive, I’m tired of her —Man
marriagesA 53-year-old Festus Ajetunmobi, has asked a Badagry Customary Court in Lagos State to dissolve his 20-year-old marriage to his wife, Titilayo, alleging that she destroys his property.
The petitioner told the court that he was no longer interested in their marriage because of her alleged constant destruction of household property during misunderstanding.
According the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Ajetunmobi stated before the court that he wanted to put an end to their relationship that was blessed with four children.
“My lord, I had to leave my house and rented another apartment to save my life from my wife.
“Each time we have a misunderstanding, my wife would destroy our property. I remember in 2004, when we had an argument, she broke the front glass of my Toyota Camry,” the petitioner said.

According to him, the wife threatened to douse the husband with hot vegetable oil, when he wanted to demarcate his shop.
Ajetunmobi said his wife registered their first son as an apprentice tailor, after his secondary school education in 2016, without his knowledge.
“Enough is enough, I am tired of her trouble, intolerable behaviour, no rest of mind and destruction of property; please separate us,” he pleaded.
The wife, however, debunked the husband’s allegations.
“My husband is lying; the problem started when I attended his family party in Agbado.
“I discovered that my husband had married another wife and they put on the same cloth.
“Since that day, he started beating me; I broke the windscreen of his car because the beating was too much,” she said.
“I don’t want to divorce him because I don’t want our four children to suffer,” she said.
The court president, Mr Sakirudeen Adekola, adjourned the case till October 9, for further hearing.
