A customary court in Ikorodu Lagos today ended a 30 year old marriage over alleged promiscuity.
The court ended the union after the petitioner, Mr Gbeminiyi Adeyiga, 88, insisted that he would no longer condone the infidelity of his wife, named Sekinat.
Adeyiga pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage forthwith, citing his wife’s unbridled promiscuity, lack of care and battery.
The President of the court, Mrs Funmi Adeola, subsequently, declared that they would no longer be husband and wife as the marriage had broken down irretrievably.
“Henceforth, you are no longer to be called husband and wife as investigation revealed that the wife truly commits the offence alleged against her.
“Having tried to settle the differences amicably, there were reports from petitioner that the respondent refuses to heed to series of advice.
“You are hereby ordered to go your separate ways and the custody of the three children should be determined by each one of them as they are above 18 years of age.
“However, the children must be jointly groomed toward a better life as your separation should not affect their upbringing,” she ruled.
Adeyiga, who reside at No. 3, Adeyiga St., off Munirat Aleje Str., in Ikorodu had told the court that his wife was sleeping with different men.
“My wife does not take care of me any longer; she does not give me good food and different men come to sleep with her in our home.
“She frustrates me, slaps me and she also wants to kill me. I don’t want to die now, please separate us,’’ he pleaded.
However, the 55-year-old Sekinat, a trader, denied the allegations made by her husband.
She said that she still loved her husband and would want the marriage to continue.
“I beg the court to settle us. He has never caught me with a man. He always suspected every move to the extent that he smells my pants whenever I go out and come back.
“I want this court to settle this matter. I am not ready for divorce.’’
However, a correspondent of the Newsmen at the court reports that the plea was too little too late as the court went ahead and terminated the relationship.

Obviously wife wants the drama to continue and they cry more than the bereaved in domestic violence and infidelity.now that the table has been turned,she will now understand the implications of having a man with humble background.wish her well in grabbing the next available man worthy of dirty slaps and butt kicks.
Sir you are too old for a divorce just kick her out of ur house and look for a replacement
Old man your case is pathetic. I guess you can’t perform anymore or she’s not feeling your vibes….
The age difference here says a lot and fifelomo may be right here…
If he is 88 years old and she 55, it means he was 58 when they married and she 25 years old at that time. Sorry sir, but the conflict started from the beginning of this marriage…with that age gap. Wish you the best though for it could not have been easy watching those suicidal men come into your matrimonial home to frolic with your wife.
Some people are just heartless beyond redemption!
For her to bring these worthless, irresponsible God forsaken men into her matrimonial home to have sex in your bed under your nose is not only annoying but suicidal. Let them count their blessings they met a very humble man like you. If it were some hot heads they would have found themselves on the highway to hell. It is sin enough to have sex with a married woman but to do it in the presence of the husband is heartbreaking. There are other ways of satisfying a woman sexually if you can not do it by penetration only. What matters is for her to reach orgasm. She must have some nerves to bring those irresponsible men to do it in your face.
You had to wait till your 88th birthday to go to court abi? There is something you are not telling the world
