An Ibadan, Oyo State-based woman, Morufat, has narrated how her husband, Sadeeq Ahmed, has allegedly been a failure.
She said, “It was Ahmed’s mother who instructed me to stop cooking for the family since her son was a failure.
“In fact, I used to overwork myself before we could eat, when I was still living with him.
“I took custody of the children from Ahmed when I saw that he went to dump them in a village,” she said.
This was her response at a Mapo Customary Court, on Friday where the magistrate dissolved the 10-year-old marriage between Ahmed, a butcher, and the woman who is a hairdresser.
Ahmed had described the wife as wayward and carefree to the children while testifying before Chief Ademola Odunade’s court.
“Morufat’s common practice is to return home very late in the night and if I complain, she begins to nag.
“As a result, Morufat doesn’t know anything about our two children’s living and educational performances.
“In fact, she has changed the children’s school up to four times now without any good result.
“When her problem became too much, Morufat ran away with some of my electrical appliances such as DVD, TV set, fan, fridge and lots more since 2017.
“She has taken my children into the home of another man, prevented me from seeing them before I forcefully took them back,” Ahmed said.
The President of the Court, Chief Odunade, dissolved the marriage citing absence of love as the reason.
He granted the custody of the children to the complainant since they preferred to stay with him.
