My wife was caught in a hotel with a pastor

Gbenga Awoyode, 48, has told the
Alagbado Grade A Customary Court to
dissolve his union with Raliat Awoyode.
The petitioner, who works with the Yaba
College of Technology, said that his wife
is very hostile.
He said that she is always insulting his
two children from his first marriage and
that she does not have any respect for
him or members of his family. He told the
court how his wife pushed his aunt during
a quarrel and the woman sustained
serious injuries as a result of the fall.
He also contended that his wife is having
an affair with their next door neighbor
and that his neighbor’s wife had to warn
his wife to leave her husband alone.
Giving an instance of adultery on his
wife’s part, he said that on one occasion,
his wife was caught with a Celestial
Church pastor in a hotel, when he was on
night duty.
He also told the court that his wife is
always destroying his things whenever
they have a misunderstanding, and that
she would sometimes seize his
documents, ID card and driver’s license.
He said that he did not pay any dowry on
his wife and wants the court to grant him
a divorce. Raliat Awoyode, in her
response, said that her husband’s claims
are not true, as she is not a hostile
person.
She also said that when her husband’s
children and some other relatives came to
their house, they all lived together without
problems. She stated further that when he
is going to work, he would give her N200
as feeding allowance for nine people.
She claimed that he is only accusing her
of adultery because he wants to be free to
marry the lady that he is dating currently.
She also said that her husband once beat
her up when he brought another woman
to the house. She said that the court
should not dissolve the marriage as she
still loves her husband.
The court president adjourned the case till
Monday, 9th September 2013. The couple
lived together for 15years and have three
children.
