”My wife beat up my elder sister who came to assist her after child birth” – Aggrieved Husband Tells Divorce Court
An aggrieved man, Thomas Enemaku, on Monday told a Jikwoyi Customary Court in Abuja, that his people turned against him because of his wife’s bad behaviour.
According to reports from News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Enemaku, who testified in a divorce petition he filed against his wife, Victoria Aladi, also said that his wife has no respect for his relatives.
”My wife doesn’t respect my relatives, she beat up my elder sister who came to assist her when she put to bed. She went about telling people that she beat up a woman who came to spy her home. For that reason, I was ostracised.”
Enemaku, a civil servant, added that his wife no longer cooks food for him.
”My wife doesn’t cook for me anymore, sometimes she would wait for me to go out and eat before she cooks for the children. Even on new year day, I had to go to a friend’s place to eat.”
Speaking further in the court room, he claimed that his wife makes his blood pressure rise.
”Living with my wife is a threat to my live. We never agree on issues, she is always making trouble with me, whenever we engage in such troubles, my blood pressure rises almost to a critical level. The other day she wanted to break my head with a pestle, it was my neighbours that came to my rescue.”
He begged the court to grant him divorce in order to save his life.
However, the accused, Victoria was not present in court, while the judge, Everyman Eleanya, adjourned the case to February 9 for continuation of hearing.
