She stated that her husband was wicked and refused to take care of her and the children.
According to her, he steals the proceeds that she makes from her petty business.
“Whenever we have disagreement, my husband will come to my shop and destroy my things.
“He does not take care of me and our children. He had nothing when we got married and started having our children. I stood by him throughout all these period. I believe now that he is working and has money we should be well taken care of.
“I agree to the dissolution of our marriage, but I pray to have custody of our children, while he pays their school fees.
“I do not allow him to come into my house because he usually forcefully pokes his hand into my private part and has injured me several times, ”she said.
After listening to both parties, the court president, Mr Saheed Lawal, said that the children’s welfare and well-being were of utmost importance to the court.
“The fact that the two of you are not at peace with each other does not mean that the children should suffer. Their upkeep and education must be well taken care of, ”he said.
Lawal urged the two parties to maintain peace and adjourned the case till November 21 for judgment.
