The Igando Customary Court on Wednesday dissolved a 16-year-old marriage between Funmilayo Adedeji and Emmanuel Adedeji over Fumilayo\u2019s accusations that her husband, Emmanuel used their physically challenged son for money ritual. The court equally dissolved the marriage on another claims of a 10-year sex starvation of the wife by the husband. \u201cMy husband refused to make love to me since 2006, I don\u2019t know his reasons. \u201cI had called members of my family and those of his family to intervene but he refused to change. \u201cMy body yearns for sex but I don\u2019t just want to commit adultery because I want all the children to be fathered by one man,\u2019\u2019 she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had always rejected medical treatment and had refused me approaching a church for deliverance. \u201cI always cursed him because he used to beat me; he once beat me to a pulp after which I landed in the hospital,\u2019\u2019 she said. The mother of two said that she also accused her husband of using their son for ritual because he started showing signs of prosperity immediately they gave birth to the born. \u201cMy husband\u2019s wealth became noticeable and started booming after the birth of our baby. Our son is now 12 years old, but he can neither walk nor talk. \u201cHe wanted to divorce me so that I will no longer persuade him to take the boy to hospital for treatment. She, however, begged the court not to grant her husband\u2019s wish, saying she was still in love.<\/p>\n
Delivering his judgment, the president of the court, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, said the petitioner was adamant despite several mediations from the court and family intervention on the issue. \u201cSince the petitioner insisted on a divorce after several interventions, the court has no choice than to dissolve the union in spite of the fact that the wife still claims she loved her husband. \u201cThe court hereby pronounces the marriage between Emmanuel Adedeji and Funmilayo Adedeji dissolved today; both parties, henceforth, ceased to be husband and wife. \u201cBoth are free to go their separate ways without any hindrances and molestation,\u2019\u2019 Omilola ruled. Earlier, Funmilayo had in her response to a suit filed by her husband said that Emmanuel gave no reasons for starving her of sex for a decade.<\/p>\n
The petitioner, Adedeji, a 51-year-old clearing agent, had approached the court seeking to end his 16-year-old marriage over defamation of his character by his wife. \u201cMy wife won\u2019t stop accusing me of using my physically challenged son for money ritual. \u201cIt is God that has blessed me with wealth; I never used my son for any ritual,\u2019\u2019 he said. Adedeji said that his wife was also \u201cgood at fighting,\u2019\u2019 claiming she had the habit of beating him in public. Apart from the beating, Adedeji also claimed that curses from his wife were beginning to affect his life and business negatively. \u201cMy wife always curses me very early in the morning and those curses are now coming to pass in my life,\u2019\u2019 he said. He, therefore, pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage, saying he was no longer in love and would not want to commit murder. \u201cPlease, dissolve the marriage before the devil will use me,\u2019\u2019 the estranged husband said.<\/p>\n
