‘My wife deserted me, got married to another man without divorcing me’

A businessman, Mr Chuka Emmanuel has dragged his wife, Jane before a Customary Court in Jikwoyi, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), for alleged secret marriage.

Chuka in his divorce suit said, “My wife moved out of our house without informing me.  I later found her new location and when I got there, I realised that she has married another man and already has a baby for him.

“It is on this ground that I seek to dissolve the marriage between us,” he said.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Chuka told the court that his wife left him and their three children since 2020.

“I have been taking care of the children since my wife deserted me.  I beg this court to stop my wife from coming to my house to see our children in my absence. I don’t want her to poison their minds against me.

“I beg this honourable court to dissolve our marriage and grant me custody of our three sons,” he pleaded.

The presiding judge, Mr Labaran Gusau, adjourned the case.
