According to Monrufu, Suliyat  who has four children for him is troublesome as he fights his family member and has left the house with his second wife.

“My Lord, I am tired of my union to my wives. My  first wife is troublesome and  has not given me rest. She fights  me and every other person in my family. She fights her rival, that is my  second wife non stop.  I have reported her to her  family members but she has refused  to desist from  turning my house upside down.

“My second wife is not better. She was always at loggerheads with  my first wife until she moved out of the house in 2007.

“My lord, I married her purposely because my  first wife was troublesome but immediately she came in, she started  misbehaving and joined  her rival in causing trouble in the house.

“ They fight, using dangerous weapons and she had left my house since 2017.”

Monrufu  told the court that he was no more interest in the marriages because  both wives had not given him rest of mind.

He, therefore, prayed the court to dissolve his union with them.

Having listened to the plainiff’s evidence and  considering the fact that the defendants  failed to come to court despite being served court summons and hearing, the  court president, Moses Oyekanmi dissolved their union.
