Published by

A 40-year-old businesswoman, Temidayo Amosa, has  dragged her husband, Omotosho Amosa, before an Igando Customary Court, for allegedly calling her a barren woman.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Temitayo told the court that she has been married to Omotosho, who is 70 years old for nine years.

“In January 2017, my husband sent me a text message calling me barren. He ordered me to leave his house. He said he was no longer interested in me,” she alleged.

“I pleaded with him to divorce me so that I can move on with my life, because age is no longer on my side, but he refused,”  she said.

Temitayo therefore prayed the court to dissolve their marriage.

Responding, Omotosho prayed the court to grant the petitioner’s prayer.

“I do not love her anymore, please grant her request. I have six children and some of my children are abroad. I don’t even need a child from her,” the respondent said.

After listening to the both parties, the court president, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the case till October 24 for judgment.
