‘He accused me of witchcraft, moved out of home 5yrs ago’

A retired teacher has pleaded with an Agege Customary Court in Lagos State to end her marriage to her husband on the grounds that he moved out of their matrimonial home.

Mrs Gladys Owolabi told the court that she has been living alone as a single woman for the past five years.

“My husband moved out of our house more than five years ago and I don’t know his whereabouts. Before he left he accused me of being a witch and the architect behind all his misfortunes,” she claimed.

The petitioner told the court that the only child the union produced died at birth.

“His parents pretended that they don’t know his whereabouts. They said he has travelled to Europe but I knew they were lying because a friend of mine said she saw my husband in Abuja, but he pretended not to know her.

“ I want to end this union so that I can move on with my life,” she said.

The  respondenrt  failed to appear in court.

The  case was thus  adjourned till July 21 for the other party to show  up.
