A 59-year-old disabled man, Mr Olaiya Adeagbo, has asked an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his 23-year-old marriage, on the ground of infidelity.
Adeagbo told the court to dissolve the 23-year-old union which has already produced four kids on the ground that his wife engaged in extra-marital affairs with a neighbour.
He further disclosed that he always got information from neighbours that his wife was having an affair with one of their neighbours who happened to be a bachelor.
He explained, “That fateful day, I came back home earlier and could not find her in our room, two of my neighbours told me that they sighted her when she sneaked into her lover’s room.
“I went to knock on his door but he refused to open after hearing my voice.
“I continued knocking and he later opened his door, and I saw my wife hiding behind his door sweating and panting, I greeted her and left.
“After some days, her lover died and my wife disappeared from the house without taking anything and refused to come back.
“My wife later went to marry another man, who also died after some months of their marriage,” he said.
Adeagbo also told the court that his wife was always at loggerheads with their neighbours.
“My wife fights a lot, she fought our pregnant neighbour but the woman died the following morning.
“Every house we rented, we were always evicted because of her frequent fighting with me and neighbours; she once stabbed me with a knife.”
