A housewife, Mrs. Omolara Adeyemi, is seeking for divorce from her husband, Moradeyo so that she would try another man as the husband cannot impregnate her after 11 years in marriage.
Mrs. Adeyemi told Idi Ogungun Customary Court, Agodi, Ibadan today, Monday her husband had continually refused to make enough effort to get her pregnant since they got married in 2006 and that he even refused to take doctor’s advice that he should treat his low sperm count.
“Instead, he flirts around. He can spend weeks outside, abandoning me in the guise that he is engaged.
“I pray the court to separate us so that I can try my luck elsewhere in a bid to get pregnant and have a child. I cannot allow another man to sleep with me as long as I am still married to him.”
Moradeyo, however, denied the allegations and told the court that he was not ready for divorce.
He pleaded with the court to allow him and his wife to go home and resolve the matter amicably.
The Court President, Chief Mukaila Balogun, advised the couple to involve their family members in the resolution.
He adjourned the case to February 27 for report of settlement.
