A 48-year-old business man, Okanlawon Oloyede, on Friday told an Abeokuta Customary Court Grade 2, that his wife, Lateefat, was a thief and a prostitute.Okanlawon alleged that he had caught Lateefat with two different men on two occasions in their matrimonial home.

He added that she does not stop at infidelity, but also stole from him and their neighbours.

“My wife is a thief and a prostitute; she cannot deny the fact that I have caught her twice with another man in my own house,” he alleged.

The plantiff said that he had ordered her out of his house since September 2010 due to her behaviour.

He, thereafter, appealed to the court to dissolve the union, and promised to take good care of the children.

Reacting to the allegations, Lateefat, a 32-year-old trader, denied Okanlawon’s claims, and said that they were all fabricated and unfounded.

She said that if truly she brought men home as alleged, Okanlawon should have reported to her parents, relatives or to the police.

“The truth is that, this man is a liar, he wants me to go so that he can take another wife, no problem, but why resort to telling lies against me?” she asked.

Lateefat, who consented to the dissolution, however, appealed that the court should give an order to Okanlawon to take care of the children and to permit her to see them whenever she wished.

Delivering judgment, the President of the court, Chief Ishola Fajebe, regretted that all the peace moves made by the court to reconcile the estranged couple had failed.

He said that the court was left with no option, but to dissolve the union to avoid bloodshed.

He, thereafter, dissolved the marriage accordingly.
