An Ado-Ekiti Customary Court in Ekiti State has dissolved the 10-year-old union between a couple, Kayode Akingbade and his wife, Fayoke on the grounds of adultery and threat to life.
Kayode added that his wife lied to her on her genotype.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the court president, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, in her ruling, held that their marriage had broken down irretrievably.
Akomolede gave custody of the only child produced by their marriage to Kayode.
She also ordered the plaintiff to allow the defendant visit their daughter.
“The child will be allowed to spend holidays with her mother,” she held.
Earlier in his petition, Kayode alleged that his wife lied to him about her genotype.
“She said she was AA but her test results showed that she was AS.
“I gave her money for the test and she brought back a fake result. I made her go for the test after we lost our second child,” he said.
The petitioner also told the court that his wife was unfaithful to him.
The respondent, Fayoke, 31, denied the allegation of adultery.
“When I did my genotype test in Kogi, it was AA. But when I did it again in Ado-Ekiti, the result was AS. It is not my fault,” she said.
Fayoke, however, agreed to the petitioner’s request for divorce.
