A trader, Mrs. Yemi Adebayo, has narrated to an Akure Customary Court how her husband, Adesola once fought with her whereby he pulled her hair after dragging her on the floor and that she was able to rescue herself by hitting him in the head with a phone.
Mrs. Adebayo who sought for the dissolution of her eight year-old marriage with Adesola over threat to her life, said that he had often quarreled with her resulting most times in her sustaining injuries, even as she produced photo evidences to buttress her point.
The petitioner told the court that the respondent was hell-bent on killing her and their two children, adding that apart from subjectibg her to cruel beating, the husband is also into promiscuity which had resulted in five children outside wedlock and unknown to her.
She also said that her husband had never paid her bride price and had bluntly refused to pay it each time she brought the matter up, saying that they came together as husband and wife after confronting him with extramarital affairs.
According to her, the respondent has not been paying the school fees of their two children.
She therefore prayed the court to put an end to the union which according to her had collapsed a long time ago, pleading that the children should be in her custody. [myad]
