‘My wife’s lover claims he slept with her five times, she says it’s four’

Peeved at her husband’s alcohol abuse and adulterous life, a 36 - year -old housewife, Queen Stephen , has approached an Igando Customary Court at a Lagos suburb , asking for the dissolution of their 12 - year marriage.

She told the court that her husband , Francis Stephen, for whom she had four children , impregnated her younger sister in 2016 .

“ When I gave birth , I invited my sister to come and assist me to take care of the child , but I did not know that my husband had established a love relationship with her .

“ She confessed to me that my husband was responsible for her pregnancy when I discovered that she was pregnant, ” she said .

The petitioner accused her husband that he threw out her belongings and sent them to her village that he was no longer interested
in the marriage .

Queen, who described the man as a drunk , said , “ He had accused me on several occasions of poisoning his food and would refuse to eat my food .

“ My husband is a threat to my life; he always drinks to stupor.

“ He had threatened to burn me with fuel; in fact , he had used hot pressing iron to burn me, ”

Apart from what she suffered in the hands of the husband , she alleged that her brother- in - law also assaulted her sexually .
“ My husband ’ s brother used to touch my breasts and anytime I reported him to my husband , but he did not caution him .

“ My husband also is not faithful , ” said Queen, who urged the court to terminate the marriage .

On his part , Stephen also accused his wife of infidelity , saying she is involved in a relationship with a man , who impregnated her and she later tried to abort it.

“ I got to know when she got pregnant for one of her lovers and she went for an unsuccessful abortion .

“ On that fateful night , she was crying seriously and rolling on the floor that her stomach was paining her . I rushed her to the hospital where it was revealed that she had an abortion that was not properly done .
“ Her lover came and he confessed to me that he was responsible for the pregnancy .

“ He told me that he only slept with my wife five times but my wife denied it and said it was only four times and I paid the doctor to do it again .

“ Queen is also sleeping with her pastor, ” he alleged .

The 45 - year- old clearing agent said that his wife accused his brother of assaulting her sexually because he caught her making love to that man that impregnated her on our matrimonial bed .

“ My wife packed out last Dec . 27 , 2016 , when I told her we will be going to her village on December 29 for her to tell her parents about her adulterous life . ”

Stephen urged the court not to grant his wife ’ s wish for the dissolution of marriage , saying “ I still love her because of the children . ”

The court ’ s President , Mr Adegboyega Omilola, adjourned the case until Sept . 5 for judgment .
