My wife stole my land documents, poured salt in the engine of my Lexus jeep - Husband
A man, Akintola Ajanaku, recently gave evidence in a Level A Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State in a case brought by his wife, olayinka Ajanaku, which is the dissolution of marriage.
Akintola was dragged into court by his wife, Olayinka Ajanaku, who alleged that he was irresponsible and constantly shirks responsibility at home.
Olayinka explained that he married Akintola who was 23 years older than her because he was handsome and she loved him.
The complainant also stated that she believed that her husband, being older than her, would take good care of her.
According to Olayinka, unfortunately, her dreams were shattered because her marriage was far from what she had in mind before embarking on it.
Olayinka in his testimony told the court that Akintola refused to work, but depended on his parents' property which he sold to eat.
She added that her husband was living beyond his means and still living in apartments in uptown areas he couldn't afford the rent for.
According to her, they were always kicked out of their apartment by their landlord for reneging on the payment agreement.
Olayinka added that their marriage was blessed with a male child whom her husband had enrolled in expensive schools with no means to pay for his tuition.
She explained that they had to change their son's school more than twice because of the accumulated tuition they owed.
She said she had to save the day several times by paying for their son's school fees and feeding the house.
Olayinka also said that Akinola borrowed huge sums of money from her three times but refused to pay her back.
According to the complainant, all her husband knew how to do was go to the club, drink, smoke and flirt.
She said the more she complained about his reckless lifestyle, the more he beat her.
Olayinka added that her husband did the worst by forcibly taking custody of their son and denying him access.
She stated that he now takes their son with him to the club where he gives her alcohol to drink.
She also explained that he takes her to his girlfriends where he spends the night.
Olayinka therefore begged the court to dissolve their marriage and grant her custody of their child, but make her husband responsible for his upkeep.
Akintola pleaded not responsible for the charges against him, but granted a divorce.
The defendant in his testimony said: "My Lord, everything my wife said about me was lies. I am a responsible and respectable person, with a source of income.
"I run a registered furniture business and regularly win contracts worth millions of naira.
“I declare in court today that my marriage to Olayinka was a grave mistake. I also ask this honorable court to separate us.
"Olayinka and I started living together as husband and wife after we got married in 2011 and I lost my peace and rest after that.
"My wife refused to follow my instructions, but always listened to her mother's advice.
"Olayinka is disrespectful. She has always been rude to me despite the age gap between us and has treated me with disdain.
"My lord, my wife lied that we were still being evicted from our residence. I paid our rent when due and by bank draft (he presented the originals in court).< /p>
"It's also not true that she paid for our son's school fees. I have several bank statements to reflect the payment of her fees.
"I took care of my wife and our son to the best of my abilities. They never wanted for anything.
"Olayinka left my house last year in June. Before leaving, she broke into my room and took the original documents of my land ownership in Lagos and our son's international passport.
"She also went with two I-phones and the original keys to my Lexus.
"Olayinka used the key to open my jeep's gas drain and poured salt into the gas tank, damaging the engine.
"My Lord, I am the primary caregiver for our son. He also knows all of my family members.
"I beg the court to grant me custody so that I can feed and care for him well," pleaded the accused.
The presiding judge, Mrs. S.M Akintayo, after hearing the accused, adjourned the case until August 11.
