A 44-year-old woman, Bukola Oriyomi, yesterday told a customary court sitting at Ikeja, Lagos State, to dissolve her marriage over alleged irresponsibility.
She said her husband, Kukoyi Oriyomi physically abuses her and threatened to kill her.
Bukola said her husband has not provided for the needs of the family which includes their two kids’ school fees and is yet to pay her bride price after 12 years of living together.
“He is aware I brought the case to court and he has been going around reporting me to everyone that I brought him to court.
“We have been living together for 12 years now. I have two children for him. He doesn’t pay their school fees and doesn’t take care of me and the kids.
“He usually borrowed money from me and I do oblige him, but whenever I don’t, it becomes a problem. I do give him before, but I discovered he is a womaniser.
“I left his house about two years ago. He has started threatening me. He said he had shown my car to soldiers and policemen. He said he would kill me,” she added.
Bukola urged the court to dissolve her marriage. Oriyomi was not in court.
The President of the court, Olowoyo T.I., adjourned the case till July 7, 2022, for judgement
