A 44-year-old land surveyor, Mr. Sheriff Ahmed, yesterday urged an Igando Customary Court, Lagos, to nullify his seven-year marriage over his wife’s alleged romance with a policeman. The petitioner alleged that his wife, Rashidat, with whom he had two children, was promiscuous, adding that she was dating a police officer.
Ahmed accused his wife of dressing in an indecent way, saying “my wife dresses like a prostitute; she wears clothes that are not fit for a married woman. I have begged her severally to change her style of dressing, but she refused. Rashidat moves with women of questionable character; women who are wayward and no longer in their husbands’ houses. I pleaded severally with her to look for women of virtue as friends, but she ignored me.
Sherrif said his wife had packed out of her matrimonial home for reasons best known to her and always threatened his life with policemen and thugs. The petitioner urged the court to end the marriage because he was no longer in love with her. “I underwent a surgery but I can’t still see clearly with the eye. On several occasions, he beat me to coma, and I will be rushed to the hospital. That was the reason I packed out of his house because I might not be lucky next time he will beat me.”
