A 39-year-old woman, Mrs. Modinat Idowu, has sworn to starve her husband, Akeem Idowu, of sex until he pays the huge sum of money he borrowed from her.
The mother of two, a trader made the shocking revelation in response to a suit filed against her by her 45-year-old husband at an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State on Thursday, July 9, 2015.
She said, “I have been denying my husband sex because he borrowed N690,000 from me and has refused to pay, I will continue to starve him of sex until he pays the money.
“Akeem is in the habit of swearing and cursing me with a charm called `Ishan egungun’: a specially prepared masquerade’s rod and this is affecting my life.’’
Notwithstanding, Mrs Idowu prayed the court not to dissolve their 12-year-old marriage because she still loves her husband despite the fact that he was indebted to her.
On his own part, the petitioner, who according to Vanguard is a businessman, had asked the court to dissolve the 12-year-old marriage over alleged sex denial by his wife.
He said, “My wife does not want me to touch her nor make love to her, I am tired of the marriage because I am neither a stick nor a stone,’’ he said.
Akeem alleged that his wife loved attending social activities and hardly stayed at home.
“Whenever she went out, she would not return home until after five days or seven days.
“My wife will go from one party to another; spending days and neglecting the family.
“I have reported her severally to her father who always calls her to order but there has been no positive change,.
“Modinat lies a lot. One day, she told me that she was going to Mushin in Lagos state; but some hours later, someone called to tell me that she was in Igbo-Ora in Oyo state.
“When I called her and confronted her that she was in Oyo state as against Mushin she claimed she was going to when she left home, she cut her cell phone line.
“She took permission on another day that she was going to Oshodi, but someone saw her at Ijebu-Ode in Ogun, I cannot just account for her movement.’’
Mr Idowu, however, insisted that the court dissolved the union as his love for his wife had faded.
The court president, Mr Hakeem Oyekan adjourned the case until Wednesday, July 22 for further hearing.
