A 50 year old retired civil servant, Mr Chibuzo
Obiedefu on Friday asked a Customary court in
Igando, Lagos to dissolve his seven year old marriage
because his wife constantly demands for money
before allowing him to have sex with her.
Obiedefu, told the court that his wife, Philomena,
made sexual intercourse difficult in the relationship.
“My wife is always starving me of sex and if she will
allow me, she will ask me to pay for it. And if I refuse
to give her money and wanted to sleep with her by
force, she would hit me with any dangerous weapon
she could lay her hands on,” he told the court.
Obiedefu also accused his wife of infidelity. He said
she was dating a policeman in their area. He added
that his wife had turned their children against him
making him a stranger in his house.
“Philomena is cheating on me; she is having an affair
with a policeman and whenever I caution her, she will
flare up.
“My wife is telling my children not to come close to
me because I am a bad man. My children now
distance themselves from me and I am now like a
stranger to them.”
He pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage
because he was tired of the relationship and was no
longer in love.
Responding, 40-year-old Philomena, who is a
business woman, denied all the allegations.
She said “My husband has sex with me anytime he
feels like; and I only demanded for feeding money
from him.”
She also claimed that she was not dating the
policeman.
“The policeman is only a friend, no strings attached.”
She urged the court not to grant her husband’s plea
because she still loved him.
Court President, Mr Rufus Adeyeri, adjourned the case
till January 21 for judgment.
