This is really shocking; Mr.
Joseph Idowu divorced his wife Omolara for insulting his Landlord.
Premium Times reports,
A
31-year-old man, Joseph Idowu, on Thursday divorced his wife, Omolara, for
insulting his landlord.
Mr. Idowu had filed
a suit before an Ikole Customary Court in Ekiti on August 31, seeking
the dissolution of his five years old “mere association,” blessed
with two children.
The plaintiff told
the court that Mrs. Idowu insulted their landlord as the landlord was trying to
settle a dispute between the couple. She later moved out of their home because
she was annoyed at being corrected, he claimed.
The woman,
who denied the allegation, gave her evidence on oath to the effect that
she did not insult their landlord.
She accused her
husband of conniving with the landlord to divorce her based on flimsy excuses,
so that Mr. Idowu could get another wife.
Mrs. Idowu stated
that she packed out of their home because of her husband’s habit of beating
her, and to escape being killed.
She,
however, consented to the divorce and prayed for the custody of her second
child who was a year and nine months old.
The president of the
court, Yemisi Ojo, dissolved the marriage.
She upheld the
prayer of the defendant on the custody of the second child and ordered both
parties to be jointly responsible for the care, maintenance, support and
education of the child.
She, however,
ordered that the plaintiff should single-handedly cater for the need of the
first child in his custody. (NAN)
