A traditional medicine practitioner and Basegun General of Merian, Agbado, Lagos, Awofemi Ogunsakin has approached a Meiran customary court in Lagos, seeking the dissolution of his marriage to his wife on the ground of constant argument, public disgrace, alcoholism and extra marital affairs .
The petitioner, Awofemi, said, ‘We fight everyday because she is quarrelsome. She also sells drugs and as a chief in my area, it was something unheard of. I begged her to stop but she refused. On one occasion, she left home for five days; when I reported her to her mother, she pleaded that since I’m her third husband, I should bear with her. She already had four children from two different men before I married her, yet I take care of her children.
“Though she is yet to have any child for me, she brings men into our matrimonial home. She is also a thief and wanted to put me to shame in the community when she stole handsets at a party. Any little argument, she would take a broken bottle and threaten to kill me. My family members have abandoned me because of her.” “
Awofemi lamented that though they got married four years ago, he has never had a moment of peace ever since. “I even reported her at Meiran Police Station; she was charged for assault but she did not change. She takes tramadol and cocaine. I married her to change her life but she is not willing to change. Please, I love her no more,” he said.Awofemi was in court with his 23 year-old son, Samuel Ogunsakin, as witness.
The respondent Basirat Ogunsakin said all the claims were not true. She said “He has married four wives before me; his family members did not like me. I paid for the land which he built for me but he never gave me the receipt. I broke his house windows when he destroyed my own building. He drinks a lot despite the fact that he is a chief. He also beats me a lot and the senior wife. He cannot control two wives even as a Chief.
