A 56-year-old man, Adebayo Ajibode, has urged an Alakuko Customary Court in Lagos State to dissolve his 30-year-old marriage to his wife, Bosede, because of her alleged fetish practice.
Adebayo, a mechanic, who lives at 2, Fadipe Street, Alakuko, a suburb of Lagos, prayed the court to dissolve his marriage to Bosede for neglecting her matrimonial duties.
“Bosede leaves home early in the mornning and returns late at night. She has also failed to perform her duties as expected of a housewife.
“I wanted to have my bath, but to my surprise, I found a charm under the bucket.

“I wanted to have my bath, but to my surprise, I found a charm under the bucket.
“When I asked my wife how it got there, she couldn’t give any explanation, then I knew I had to be watchful.
“Sixteen years ago, I wanted to have sex with her, I saw an incision on her chest, I couldn’t go further because I knew it connoted bad omen.
“Since then, I haven’t made love to her. I also see cobweb in front of my bedroom door each morning I wake up,” he said.

Adebayo also told the court that his wife killed his neighbour’s son after a fight with the mother and also killed one of his children which another woman had for him.
The father of three told the court that his wife gave out two of his daughters in marriage without his knowledge and hadn’t seen them for five years.
“Living with her is hell. I don’t want to lose my life, I want a divorce before she kills me,” he said.
Bosede in her response, told the court she had nothing to say.
Giving his judgment, the court president, Chief Godwin Awosola, said Bosede fought with the bailiff who gave her the court summon and also tore the summon papers.
“That is contempt of court, in view of this, you will sweep the court and the environment for one hour,” he said.
He also ordered the respondent to vacate the room she is occupying in her husband’s house with immediate effect.
Awosola adjourned the case till July 1.
