The plaintiff said that Kazeem was addicted to smoking cigarettes which had permanently. eft their matrimonial home with offensive odour.
.
"My husband's smoking habit is uncontrollable, so worrisome that he smokes cigarettes, even in our bedroom, not minding my presence," she said.
.
The lady also told the court that her husband was not providing for the needs of the family but, instead, he derived pleasure in dinning and wining with friends.
.
She told the court that the marriage was contracted in 2009, and had yet to produce any child.
.
"I have tried my best to caution him but he refused to change and I cannot condone his smoking habit anymore," said the plaintiff.

.
He, however, urged the court to grant the prayer of the plaintiff.
.
The presiding Judge, Mr Yusuf Abdulkareem, dissolved the marriage and issued a certificate of divorce to the plaintiff. (NAN)

Smoking can be irritating at times so it's difficult to love forever with someone with such habit. It's better the marriage has ended!
