Due to constant nagging, an Ibadan man, Saheed Rafiu, has been divorced from his wife Mujidat on Thursday.
For lack of peace between the couple, President of Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, on Thursday, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, dissolved the eight-year marriage.
The judge, however, granted custody of the two children to Rafiu, and ordered Saheed to pay N10,000 as the children’s monthly feeding allowance.
“Both the petitioner and the respondent shall be jointly responsible for the education and welfare of the children.
“Also, the respondent is restrained from any form of interference with the petitioner, including going to her shop to cause confusion,” Akintayo added.
Rafiu, a resident of Ona-Elewe area in Ibadan lamented that he has afraid due to the perpetual fear her husband’s frequent nagging will lead to something else.
“He complains about unnecessary things. Most of the time, he shouts and assaults me.
“I am not free to express myself in my matrimonial home,” she said.
She alleged that her husband always comes to her electronics shop to harass and intimidate her.
Saheed told the judges that his wife doesn’t follow the instructions he gave her, saying it is why he has been nagging her constantly.
“I am not a happy husband because I have no say over her. Worst still, she took my two children away from my reach.
“In addition, I pray this honourable court to help me retrieve my pictures from her.”
