A 36-year-old man, Samson Ebiniyi, on Wednesday urged an Ikorodu Customary Court, Lagos, to dissolve his 10-year-old marriage to his, wife Modinat, for alleged stubbornness and arrogance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ebiniyi, who resides at No. 7, Otunla Str., Majidun, Ikorodu, Lagos, also cited lack of motherly care for their four children as reasons for seeking dissolution of the marriage.<\/p>\n
At the resumed hearing, the petitioner told the court that he was fed up with Modinat\u2019s ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cModinat has become used to not sleeping at home and does not care if her actions hurt me or the children.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cannot continue to tolerate her stubbornness toward me and her arrogance toward other people, especially my neighbours,\u2019\u2019 he told the court.<\/p>\n
Corroborating the husband\u2019s claim, a witness, \u00a0Happiness Otunla, said that Modinat was stubborn and adamant and had allegedly refused to heed several pieces of advice to stop her bad behaviour.<\/p>\n
\u201cSamson is like a son to me and he usually reports his wife to me and I have corrected Modinat many times to no avail. \u201cBut, I beg this court to settle them instead and make peace reign in their home,\u2019\u2019 Otunla pleaded with the court. Otunla, who was cross-examined by Modinat\u2019s uncle, Mr Gbade<\/p>\n
Akintotu, told the court that both parties had at different times committed acts likely to breach the peace of the marriage.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe two of them owe each other apologies for wrongs done against each other as husband and wife.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will be in the interest of the children for Samson and Modinat to remain as husband and wife,\u2019\u2019 Otunla testified.<\/p>\n
One of the Modinat\u2019s witnesses, Jimoh Babatunde, said that the children of the marriage would suffer psychological trauma should the court grant the application. \u201cWe in the compound, where Samson lives, know how the children love their parents,\u2019\u2019 he told the court. But, Modinat, in her defence, told the court that the petitioner did not show her enough love, saying that her husband was in the habit<\/p>\n
of threatening to divorce her at the slightest provocation.<\/p>\n
The president of the court, Mrs Omolara Abiola, however, urged the couple to maintain peace pending the determination of the case. She said that the next adjourned date would be communicated to all the parties after the court must have received vital information that would help it to settle the matter<\/p>\n
