After 51 years of marriage, man accuses wife of fighting him with knife, seeks divorce

TRIBUNE

A man, Ojo Olaoye, has pleaded with Grade A Customary Court,  Oja Oba,  Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State  to dissolve his 51-year-old marriage to his wife, Janet Olaoye, on the accounts of stubborness, constant fight, violence and threat to his life.

Ojo in his divorce suit stated that he knew no peace since he got married to Janet after snatching her from another man.

The plaintiff explained that the defendant was defiant and always flouted his orders at all times.

He added that they fought on regular basis because she was not submissive, but chose to rub shoulders with him in the home.

According to him, they both had a misunderstanding a few days before she packed out of his house and that she drew a knife at him.

Ojo also stated that Janet was in the habit of pulling his trousers and dragging him when fighting him.

He added that she would sometimes grab his manhood and would not release him until neighbours came to his rescue.

The plaintiff told the court that the defendant thwarted his destiny and that of their children by raining curses on them on regular basis.

Ojo in addition said Janet was a busy body who went from house to house spreading tales of happenings in their community and likewise divulging secrets in her family.

He told the court that he got his wife arrested and detained by the police the last time she came to his house after she had walked out of their marriage.

Ojo said that Janet complained and quarreled with him throughout the night and therefore denied him a peaceful night rest.
