A businessman,
Rasheed Ogunwande, yesterday, made an impassioned plea at a Yaba Customary Court to
dissolve his 10-year-old marriage on the grounds of drunkenness.
Ogunwande, 43, who
resides at 10, Araromi Street, Onike, in Iwaya area of Lagos, told the court
that his wife, Ajarat, was always threatening his life.
He said: “She threatens
my life anytime she is drunk. She is also fond of fighting me and raining
abuses on me whenever she is in her state of stupor.“My wife drinks alcohol as
if it is water and gets drunk easily. She is a disgrace.”
Ogunwande, therefore, urged the court to dissolve the 10-year-old marriage already blessed with three children. He said the love he had for her had turned sour.
The President of the
court, Mr. Rahim Daodu, who said the respondent had refused to appear in court,
ordered the court’s registrar to summon her to appear before him.
Further hearing has been
adjourned till January 27.
