A 35-year-old cobbler, Mr Oluwatobi Odebode, Thursday, told an Iyana-Ipaja Customary Court in Lagos that his wife, Titilayo, vacated their matrimonial home to live with her boss. Oluwatobi, who was the respondent in a divorce suit, said that he returned home from work on Dec. 24, 2012, to discover that his wife had moved out of their home.
.
"My wife is promiscuous; when I heard that she was dating her boss, I queried her but she denied it. But now, she has moved into his house," he said.
.
The respondent, whose wife had filed for divorce, alleging battery and irresponsibility, admitted to beating Titilayo, but said that it only happened occasionally when she did wrong.
.
"I used to beat her but not regularly; just to make her turn a new leaf, which she never did," he said.
.
The respondent described his estranged wife as a liar.
.
According to him, Titilayo, 32, who is a trader, had been going about to tell people that her family had returned the N10,000 dowry he paid on her, which was not true.
