A Mapo Grade A Customary Court in Ibadan on Friday dissolved a 21-year-old marriage at the instance of an Ibadan-based caterer, Omotayo Kumunyi, on the grounds of poisoning and domestic violence.
Mrs Kumunyi, a resident of the Osungbade area of Ibadan, stated that her husband, Mr Olatunde, does not cater to her and their four children. She added that when the problem became too much for her to bear, she moved away with three of her children while the second child remained behind.
“My lord, about five years ago, our third child confided in me that she usually saw her father pouring some black substance into my food whenever I was not there. I was shocked by this information and confronted him with the revelation.
“Subsequently, I invited him to eat part of the food, and he declined to taste it. As if that was not enough, Olatunde regularly turned our first child and me into a punching bag anywhere he came across us. I also beg the court to grant me custody of the children because Olatunde will not adequately care for them,” She said.
