A man, Lukman, has told Grade A Customary Court sitting at Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, that he is no longer interested in his marriage to his wife, Aderonke, giving troublesomeness, constant fight, infidelity, and threat to his life by the latter as his reasons.
Lukman stated that he found it hard to live in peace with his wife since they got married because of her troublesome and destructive nature.
The plaintiff explained that the defendant always sought every opportunity to fight him.
Lukman added that any time he and his wife had a brawl, she would destroy things in the home.
He gave an instance of when Aderonke broke the door of their house and the louvre blades on the windows with a pestle.
According to Lukman, Aderonke once set a part of their home on fire, and rather than show remorse, she bragged that her intention was to roast him alive together with the house.
The plaintiff further told the court that the defendant extended her hostility to his place of business where she turned him into a source of ridicule.
Lukman stated that Aderonke brought soldiers to his shop, who attacked him, turned his shop upside down and went away with his stock.
He also said that she later took to immorality and was regularly spotted with other men.
Lukman stated that his wife had done him enough harm and therefore implored the court to end their union.
He also pleaded that the court should order his wife to quit the two-bedroom flat she was staying in because it solely belonged to him.
