A Grade `C’ Customary Court, Bode Igbo, Ibadan, on Tuesday adjourned the divorce suit filed by Taiwo Philip, as the wife, Bukola, urged the court to plead with her husband on her behalf.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Philip, a plank seller, allegedly accused his wife of disobedience, keeping late nights, unfaithfulness and arrogance.
According to Philip, who resides at Omi-Adio, Bukola is also fond of not caring for the well-being of their six children; the oldest being 16-years-old and the youngest, one-year-eight-months-old.
“Two years after our marriage, my wife told me she wanted to further her education of NCE, of which I didn’t refuse.
“I established a Nursery and Primary School where she served as the headmistress but in spite of all these efforts, she still turned out to be an ingrate by behaving badly at home,‘’ he said.
Philip said he once met his wife and an old man in a compromising manner in her shop when he went in search of their second child, who ran away from home.
According to him, as I demanded explanation from my wife, some goons, called ‘Gobe’, beat me up right there and then.
How can domestic abuse and violence be stopped in Nigeria?
