An Ibadan-based trader, Tawakalitu Olayiwola, has made serious allegations against her hubam.
The woman, on Wednesday, asked a Mapo Grade A Customary Court in Ibadan to dissolve her 20-year-old marriage on the grounds of theft and battery.
Olayiwola said that she decided to call it quits with her husband, Ganiu Olayiwola because her life was under threat due to constant high blood pressure.
She said that Ganiu had been battering her since 2003 at any slightest provocation.
“He even attempted pouring acid on me, and this is the reason why I became hypertensive.
“Ganiu had never been a responsible husband to me and father to our three children.
“My Lord, he usually gives the three children and me N1,000 as feeding allowance for six months.
“Due to his lack of care, I worked very hard to keep the home going, especially the children, but Ganiu was unhappy with me.’’
She said:-
“In fact, I started denying him sexual intercourse because I used to be too tired when he made advances to me at night.
“As a result, he labelled me an adulterer and unleashed mayhem on me.â€
