WOMAN SEEKS DIVORCE, BRANDS HUSBAND A CHRONIC WOMANISER
A 36-year-old trader, Mrs Florence Anyasi, on Wednesday told a Customary Court in Igando, Lagos to dissolve her 10-year-old marriage because her husband, Stanley is a chronic womaniser.
She told the court that apart from numerous cases of his following women around, her husband used to sneak into their maid’s room to sleep with her.
“My husband is a womaniser, he used to leave me in the bed at night and sneak into my maid’s room. I have caught him severally on my maid’s bed sexually assaulting her.
“A neighbour approached me and told me to warn my husband to desist from asking her daughter to have love affairs with him.
“I once caught him sucking the breasts of my niece, who is a minor and he is also fond of wooing my friends,” the mother of three said as she reeled out her grievances before the court.
Anyasi also accused the husband of threatening her life.
“My husband always tells me that he will get rid of me and had once succeeded in poisoning me.
The petitioner said that her husband equally turned her into a punching bag, beating her at the slightest provocation, and has been calling her thief and prostitute in public.
The woman stressed that her husband was irresponsible and unable to provide food or pay for the education of their children.
She therefore urged the court to dissolve her marriage with Stanley.
The respondent urged the court to grant his wife’s wish for the dissolution of marriage, saying that he too was no longer interested.
The court president, Mr Akin Akinniyi, admonished the couple to maintain peace and fixed July 3, for judgment.
