‘His wealth started booming after the birth of our baby’ – Wife Alleges Husband Used Physically Challenged Son For Money Rituals
One Emmanuel Adedeji has filed for divorce at an Igando Customary Court after 16 years of marriage over his wife, Funmilayo’s allegation that he used their now 12-year-old physically challenged son for money rituals. The woman also alleged her husband had deprived her of sex for over 10 years.
According to NAN, the aggrieved mother of two spilled in court:
“My husband’s wealth became noticeable and started booming after the birth of our baby. Our son is now 12 years old, but he can neither walk nor talk.
He wanted to divorce me so that I will no longer persuade him to take the boy to hospital for treatment. He had always rejected medical treatment and had refused me approaching a church for deliverance…
My husband refused to make love to me since 2006, I don’t know his reasons.
I had called members of my family and those of his family to intervene but he refused to change.
My body yearns for sex but I don’t just want to commit adultery because I want all the children to be fathered by one man…
I always cursed him because he used to beat me; he once beat me to a pulp after which I landed in the hospital.”
She, however, pleaded that the court should not grant the divorce as she was still in love with her husband.
Reacting to the allegations, her husband, a 51-year-old clearing agent, who filed for divorce over alleged defamation of his character by his wife, said:
“My wife won’t stop accusing me of using my physically challenged son for money ritual. It is God that has blessed me with wealth; I never used my son for any ritual. My wife always curses me very early in the morning and those curses are now coming to pass in my life. Please, dissolve the marriage before the devil will use me.”
The court dissolved the marriage after several failed interventions.
Na wa oh.

Na wao

Hmmmmm…Trust no one
Am short of words
