A
forty-five-year-old housewife, Mrs Iyabo Taiwo, has consented to the
dissolution of her six-year-old marriage to a cleric, whom she accused of
infidelity.
Iyabo told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State that
her husband, Pastor Olusoji Taiwo, had illicit affairs with her two friends.
She was responding to a divorce suit filed by Olusoji.
“My husband is a womaniser; he slept with two of my friends,’’
Iyabo told the court, adding that Olusoji had many concubines.
“Whenever I confronted him on his escapades with my friends,
he would tell me to do my worst,” she said.
The mother of one said she was fed up with the marriage.
Fifty-six-year-old Olusoji had claimed in the divorce suit
that his wife was threatening his life and blackmailing him.He alleged
that she discouraged his church members from attending his church.
“My wife is fond of damaging my reputation in the presence of my
church members,” he said.
The cleric also alleged that his wife sent thugs to
beat him.
“My wife wants to kill me; she always sends thugs after me. I am
scared that she might kill me one day,” he said.
The
president of the court, Mr R. I. Adeyeri, adjourned the case till January 8 for
further hearing.
