57-Year -Old Man Seeks Dissolution Of 25-Year-Old Marriage

A 57-year-old trader, Mr. Babatunde Aliu, on Wednesday prayed an Abeokuta Customary Court sitting in Ake to dissolve his 25-year-old marriage over alleged infidelity by his wife.
Aliu, who resides at Adigbe, Abeokuta, alleged that his wife, Rashidat, 50, was also troublesome.

“I have caught her in an act of infidelity; she receives all kinds of text messages and makes calls to several men.
“Please separate us; I am fed up,’’ Babatunde told the court.
Rashidat, however, denied the allegations, and prayed the court to save the union.
“I love my husband; the messages were from my customers, I am not dating them. Please save my marriage from crashing.
“I promise from today that I will change from all my bad behaviour,” the businesswoman submitted.
The Court President, Mr. Titus Oluwole, held that there was still room for reconciliation.
Oluwole appealed to the petitioner to be patient with Rashidat who, he hoped, would change.
He adjourned the case till February 10, 2014 for possible reconciliation.
