A businessman, Mr Seyi Ogundeji, on Friday pleaded with a Customary Court in Ake, Abeokuta, to dissolve his marriage to Biola on grounds of threat to life.
.
Ogundeji, 34, who resides at 17, Oke-Bode, Abeokuta, accused Biola, 29, of public embarrassment and incessant fighting.
.
“My wife is very troublesome; she usually curses and embarrasses me in the public anytime we have a little misunderstanding.
.
“She also squanders the rents I collect from my tenants. Sometime ago, she stole my N200,000. She denied stealing it.
.
“Her behaviour made me to marry a second wife. Please separate us before she kills me’’, Ogundeji urged the court.
.
Biola, a petty trader, did not deny the allegations, but pleaded with the court not to grant her husband’s request.
.
“All he had said is true, but I am ready to change my ways.He wants to send me away so that the second wife can move into our apartment.
.
“Help me to appeal to him because there is no man that will marry me at this age”, she said.
.
The couple is blessed with a child.
.
The President of the court, Mr Israel Fajebe, said that there was little room for reconciliation and fixed Feb. 13 for judgment.
