DIVORCE: 88-year-old man sniffs wife’s panties, drags her to Lagos court
An 88-year-old man identified as Adeyiga, on Thursday, begged an Ikorodu Customary Court to dissolve their 30-year-marriage over alleged promiscuity.
Adeyiga, a resident of No. 3, Adeyiga Street, off Munirat Aleje Street, in the Ikorodu area of Lagos, had pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage forthwith, citing his wife’s unbridled promiscuity, lack of care and battery.
The wife, a 55-year-old trader identified as Sekinat, however, denied the allegations made by her husband.
Sekinat told the court: “I beg the court to settle us. He has never caught me with a man. He always suspected every move to the extent that he smells my pants whenever I go out and come back.”
The President of the court, Mrs. Funmi Adeola, subsequently, declared that they would no longer be husband and wife as the marriage had broken down irretrievably.
“Henceforth, you are no longer to be called husband and wife as investigation revealed that the wife truly commits the offence alleged against her.
“Having tried to settle the differences amicably, there were reports from petitioner that the respondent refuses to heed to series of advice.
“You are hereby ordered to go your separate ways and the custody of the three children should be determined by each one of them as they are above 18 years of age.
“However, the children must be jointly groomed toward a better life as your separation should not affect their upbringing,” she ruled.
