Testifying before Chief Ademola Odunade, the court’s President, Ayobami who lived at Liberty-Oke-ado area of Ibadan said that her husband raped her 16-year-old daughter whom she had before getting married to Olaniyi.
“If I had known that Olaniyi was heartless, I would not have ventured into marrying him, let alone having children with him.“I told Olaniyi in clear tones that I have a female child before he agreed to marry me.“In fact, that was the reason I sent the girl to her father.“I kept a cash of N9, 500 in a safe in our living room, Olaniyi stole the money to play Niger Bet without anything to show for it.“Then, he stabbed me with cutlass and my body is full of different machete cuts now.
“My lord, it is true that Ayobami brought a female child into my home when I married her, but it is not true that I raped the girl.“The money I took in the room is actually mine and not hers,” Olaniyi said. The respondent was however, silent on the issue of the motorcycle which the plaintiff said she got on installments for him.
The court’s President, Odunade subsequently pronounced the marriage dissolved, citing threat to life as reason.“Custody of the three children produced by the union is granted to Ayobami and Olaniyi shall pay a monthly allowance of N30, 000 for the children’s upkeep in addition to been responsible for their education and other welfare,” the Arbitrator said.
