A
middle-aged timber contractor, Ojo Owoeye, who is a defendant in a
divorce suit filed by his wife, Mrs. Bola Owoeye, at the Akoko Customary
Court in Ondo State, says he caught his wife having sex with his
brother.
Bola had approached the court to dissolve her 16-year-old marriage with Ojo for lack of care for her and her three children.
However, Ojo, who agreed to the
dissolution, said he intentionally abandoned his wife because she was
fond of sleeping around with different men, including his younger
brother.
The defendant said he reported his wife
and his younger brother to his mother-in-law, but the latter pacified
him. He added that his younger brother also denied having extra marital
affair with Bola.
“My lord, there was a time that I came
home from a journey at about 9pm and met my wife naked with only her
wrapper around her chest, sitting on my younger brother’s lap,” Ojo said
He
also told the court that at a point he had to destroy his wife’s mobile
phone when he discovered she often received calls from other men.
The President of the Court, Chief Maku
Awe, ruled that the two were free to go their separate ways and remarry,
granting the custody of the first and last children, who were 16 and
four years old, to the mother. The second child, a nine-year-old female,
was given to the father.
The court also ordered that Ojo should
be paying the sums of N3,000 and N2,000 as monthly feeding allowances of
the children in the custody of his ex-wife.
