He only drinks and flirts with his money —Wife

Published by

A Grade “C” Customary Court in Iseyin, Oyo State has dissolved a 10-year-old marriage between one Funso and Iyabode Akanji over the husband’s alleged irresponsibility.
Delivering judgement, the Court’s President, Chief Adelodun Oyegbenle, said that the estranged couple had shown to the court that love no longer existed between them.
He also bemoaned refusal of families of the estranged couple to get the matter resolved before it degenerated to the level it is now.
He, thereafter, dissolved the union accordingly.
The president ordered Funso to be paying N10, 000 to the court’s registry for the upkeep of the two children.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that Iyabode had approached the court to seek dissolution over allegations of maltreatment, irresponsibility and lack of care.
She told the court that the union had produced two children, alleging that “he does not take care of his family and does not show love at all.”
“Since we got married, I have been taking care of the family all alone despite the fact that he earns more than me; he only drinks and flirts with his own money.
“I have been forced to leave our matrimonial home because of his attitude and now I want it to be official that I am no longer his wife,” she said.
Responding, Funso debunked all the allegations describing it “baseless”, saying: “she is just making excuses because she wanted to marry another person.
“I am fine by her decision, I have tolerated her enough; she can go for life, I don’t want to see her near me anymore, “ he said.
