A businesswoman, Mrs Stella Ekweke, has dragged her brother in-law, John Ekene, before a customary court in Jikwoyi, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for accusing her of infidelity.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the petitioner, who resides in Jikwoyi, Abuja, in the divorce petition said: “My husband died in 2018. I mourned him so much because I loved him. After the period of mourning, I started having suitors.
“Whenever my late husband’s brother sees me with my suitors, he calls me names and accuses me of infidelity.”
She also told the court that her in-laws threw her out of the house her husband built.
The petitioner added that her in-laws took her children from her.
The respondent, John, a farmer, denied the allegations.
“Nobody threw her out of the house. She just packed her things and moved to an unknown place.
“I am pray the court to give me custody of my late brother’s children because their mother is already in a relationship with another man,” he said.
The presiding judge, Labaran Gusau, adjourned the case till February 28.
