longer bear her husband’s strong sexual urge.
She said her husband, Bayo Bamisile, always beat her whenever she refused him sex.
The estranged wife told the court that within five and half years of their marriage, she had given birth to four children.
She also alleged that Bayo failed to care for her and the children, and that none of the children is in school.
She said, “I always quarrel with my husband because none of our children is in school; there is no proper care for me and the children.
“My husband is always concerned about having sex with me whenever he has taken palm-wine. He has not even paid my dowry.”
The woman further explained that her husband and his family members have been reaching out to her to reconsider her divorce move.
She said, “My husband and his family have been coming to me to change my mind about the divorce. He has also written a letter of undertaking to be of good behaviour.”
The petitioner tendered the letter of undertaking in court as exhibit. The letter was admitted by the court.
Meanwhile, the respondent denied the allegation of constantly fighting his wife and failing to take care of his family.
However, Bayo admitted to non-payment of the dowry.
President of the court, Yemisi Ojo, in her ruling, said the plaintiff should monitor the respondent’s behaviour for three months to ascertain if he has changed.
Ojo also ordered the man to enroll his children in school before the next adjourned date.
The matter was adjourned to May 8 for report of settlement.
