“My wife is a first class prostitute and drunk” – Aggrieved Husband Spills

An electrician, Ibrahim Ekeolu, reportedly called for the dissolution of his 6-year-old marriage last Friday at the Mapo Customary Court, Ibadan, alleging that his wife, Taiwo, is a ‘first class prostitute and drunk’.

Punch reports Ekeolu made the assertion while testifying in a divorce petition instituted by his wife against him. The electrician denied the allegations in the petition and accepted the divorce request from his wife but explained:

“Your honour, Taiwo is a first class prostitute who thinks she can continue to fool me.

Taiwo goes out and return home at anytime she feels, staying two or three months with her parents.

In this state of constant abandonment, I saw Taiwo cooking very early one morning, she told me that one of her relatives was sick and needed food in the hospital.

She took the food and I carefully trailed her, I saw her entering an hotel with the food.

Though, I couldn’t get the room she entered, but I waited until she came out with her concubine and both of them sighted me and they took another direction out.

Taiwo knew what I was going to do, when she got home, she packed out with most of my belongings.

Taiwo as a woman is a drunkard, when she returns home late, alcohol smells all over her body and sleeps to unconsciousness.

When I reported the incident to her parents, they instead supported her as they usually did.”

Meanwhile, his wife, Taiwo, denied the allegations and urged the court to dissolve her six-year-old marriage to her husband for allegedly stealing her money. She told the court that her husband was crippling her life through constant theft of her capital. She said:

“For a number of times, Ekeolu has stolen the money meant for my business despite the fact that he does not make any contribution to it.

He has stolen thousands of naira from me to cripple my business and if I ask, he turns me into a punching bag.

Your honour, he battered me one day such that I collapsed into the gutter. Each time he beat me, I end up in the hospital.

As if those are not enough, he doesn’t want to know how our only child and I sustain our lives. Worst of all, he is jobless and does nothing about it.”

The President of the court, Mr. Henric Agbaje, subsequently asked the couple to produce evidence to support their claims, and adjourned the case till Nov. 13 for judgment.
