WTF AFRICA-HUSBAND SEH WIFE BEAT HIM

She’s Weird, Overpowers Me When We Fight, Threatens Me With Knife, Broken Bottles

The 17-year-old marriage between a couple, Ganiyu Raimi and Adijat Raimi has been dissolved by Oja Oba/ Mapo Court C Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State.

Ganiyu, who approached the court, sought for a separation from his wife on the accounts of violence and constant fight by the latter.

The plaintiff claimed to be living in fear because his life was not safe with his wife. He thus sought for expedient action by the court on his case.

He further prayed the court if his prayer was answered, to restrain the defendant from coming to his residence or work place to harass or fight him.

Adijat refused to give her consent to divorce, stating that she still loves her husband.

“I have known no rest since I got married to my wife. Adijat is weird in her behaviour and this puts fear in me always. She is troublesome and fights me day and night. She fights like a jackal and on many occasions overpowers me.

“She finds fault in all that I do and raises argument on trivial issues. Adijat goes violent any time we have a misunderstanding and ends it in a brawl.

“She sees every fight as an opportunity to destroy the property in the house. I have spent a fortune replacing these, but the more I do, the more she destroys them.

“My lord, I go about almost naked because she has destroyed almost all my clothes. She’s in the habit of tearing my clothes into shreds when we fight. I have likewise lost many shoes during scuffles with her.

“Adijat has made an attempt on my life many times. She draws knifes at me and at some other times threaten me with broken bottles. I would have been a dead man by now if neighbours had not always come to my rescue.

“My lord, my wife at another time went wild during a fight and almost set our house on fire. It took the efforts of hefty men who restrained and calmed her down. But for providence, I would probably have been living on the streets now.

“The last time she fought me, she broke the windscreen of my car and broke the car key.

“My lord, I can’t go further in this marriage. The earlier I opted out of it the better and the time is now,” Ganiyu told the court.
