Daily Sun reports he told the court his wife mismanaged his pension benefits of N10 million and got him indebted to the extent of selling his property.

“For the past eight years now, I don’t have access to any of my property anymore. She is threatening to kill me. She promised to kill me if I ask for my property. The documents of my property including my house, land and other valuables have her name written on them. Worse still, she has turned my five children against me; one even disowned me as his father,” he said.

The father of five describing Dupeola as cruel and mean, added: “My earnings go to her and the children, with the family’s up­keep. Despite all these, she would not call me to know how I am faring, where I am or anything. So, I can no longer tolerate her and I want the court to please dissolve our marriage.”

His wife however denied that any of his children disowned her husband as father, al­leging that the ex-banker abandoned his family. She said both of them built the house which Deyibo claimed as his own: “I am a good wife and mother to my children and I still love my husband,” she said.

President of the court, Chief Odunade Ademo­la, dissolved the marriage.
