"My Husband Runs After Anything In Skirt" — Wife Tells Court [Read]

Mr Femi Ajayi's wish to dissolve his 12-year-old marriage to wife, Modupe, was denied by a Lagos Court o Thursday.

The 45-year-old husband filed a suit against his wife seeking divorce citing arrogance and extravagant lifestyle.

He also described her as disrespectful, pompous and arrogant.

“She is so full of herself and does not have respect for me despite all I have done for her, I bought her four cars within our 12 years of marriage, yet she does not have regard for me.She does thing without telling me; she travelled out of Nigeria without my consent.”

He added that each time they had a fight, his wife always threatened his life with dangerous weapons like knife or other sharp objects.

 Femi also accused Modupe of living an extravagant life. According to him, his wife used every money he always gave her to buy jewelries and even used their children's N250,000 school fees for the same purpose.

He disclosed that he would've divorced her two years ago but hoped she would change, only for them to start living as enemies since June 2013.

Meanwhile, 40-year-old Mrs Modupe Ajayi, who is a businesswoman, told the court that her husband was a serial womaniser and even slept with her best friend and housemaid.

Modupe said:

“My husband runs after anything in skirt; I caught him making love to my best friend in her house.I refused to employ any house help again as he has turned them into sex machines.”

She added that she stopped having sex with her husband since September 2013 saying that she always had infection days after their sexual affair.

“I stopped making love to him and I stopped washing his clothes when I discovered I always see and smell sperm on his boxers,” she said.

Modupe, who has three children for Femi said her husband abandoned her to sleep with another woman just a day after their wedding, deceiving her that he traveled to see his father in the village.

“I called his father when he did not show up for days, but he told me that he did not see my husband”.

Modupe said she later discovered the lady’s number on Femi's phone and called her to leave her husband alone but what she received afterwards was a serious beating from him.

“After I warned her on phone, my husband rushed home, dragged me out of the bathroom naked and beat me for calling his girlfriend. It was my brother-in-law that ran out to cover my nakedness.” 

However, the Court President, Mr R.I Adeyeri, was able to reconcile the estranged couple thorough counselling. He made them both sign an undertaking of good behavior and peace. [NAN]
