- He stripped me of my inheritance and turned me into a wreck -Wife
Last Tuesday, Ebenezer Bankole, who works with a Lagos based real estate fi rm told the court that he would want his marriage of less than two years to Folashade Bankole dis-solved. According to Ebenezer, he can no longer continue with the marriage because of his wife's drug and alcohol addiction. The 30-year-old disclosed to the court how his wife has suddenly become a drunk and a drug addict.
He said, "She is no longer the woman I married. She drinks herself to stupor on a daily basis and not only does she drink, she smokes heroin and cocaine. She has sold virtually all the valuable things in the house and she won't stop.
I have tried severally to take her to the hospital for rehabilitation but she just won't stay. I m tired of living like this and cannot cope anymore. I want the marriage dissolved so I can live right."
Folashade, however, claimed that Ebenezer is the cause of her woes and all the mess she found herself in today. "This man is a devil and a killer," she said, pointing to her husband. He ruined my life and turned me into a nervous wreck.
I gave him all my inheritance so we could plan life with it and improve our standard of living. He took everything and left me with nothing. He left me naked and now he wants to send me away so he can marry another woman. He told me to stop working, claiming that he will take care of me and provide for me and our unborn children without knowing that he has an ulterior motive.
He withdrew everything that rightfully belongs to me from me and he has been sleeping around with another woman. I have seen her with him on several occasions and if he thinks he is going to have his way, he is a big joker because I am not going to let him have his way. He must return all the documents of my father's estate back to me before I will let him go.
I don't want this marriage dissolved until he has produced all the documents to the landed properties I gave to him and all my belongings in his custody," explained Folashade on top of her voice, while wailing loudly. The court president however advised both parties to maintain peace while he adjourned the case to January 7, 2014 for further hearing and possible resolution.
Now i know there is so much stress in marriages this days. This kind of woman would've been a great stress for her husband.
