A 43-year-old businessman, Rasheed Ogunwande, on Thursday, January 15, 2015 pleaded with a Yaba Customary Court to dissolve his 10-year-old marriage with his wife, Ajarat due to her drinking habit which had made the love he had for her wax cold.
Ogunwande, who resides at 10, Araromi Street, Onike, in Iwaya area of Lagos, told the court that his wife, Ajarat, was always threatening his life after getting drunk, according to Vaguard reports.
He said, “She threatens my life anytime she is drunk. She is also fond of fighting me and raining abuses on me whenever she is in her state of stupor.
“My wife drinks alcohol as if it is water and gets drunk easily. She is a disgrace.”
The presiding judge of the court, Mr. Rahim Daodu, disclosed that the woman who already had three kids with Ogunwande had refused to appear before the court.
The case was adjourned for further hearing on Tuesday, January 27, 2015 and the registrar of the court was charged with the task of summoning the defendant to the court.
