A 39-year-old retired airman, Richard Imana, on Wednesday prayed an Iyana-Ipaja Customary Court in Lagos State to dissolve his 10-year-old marriage over alleged abandonment and denial of access to his child by his wife.
“She abandoned me for another man. I resigned to take good care of the children because my wife does not take good care of them. “She denied me access to the children and took the last born to her mother without my consent,” the petitioner said.“I still love my wife but my wife does not love me,” he said.Responding, 34-year-old Nkem said she moved in with her married female friend who stayed opposite her apartment because her husband stopped sending feeding money to her and their children.
“I packed my belongings out of annoyance because, at that time, my salary was N25, 000 and it was not enough to cater for myself and the children,” she submitted.
