"My Husband Smells My Panties Anytime I Come Back From A Journey”- Wife Cries Out

A woman, Dasola Adeosun, has
pleaded with Ile Tuntun Customary
Court, Mapo Hall, Ibadan, Oyo State,
to put an end to her union with her
husband, Taiwo, whom she alleged
on several occasions had attempted
to use their only two-year-old child
for money rituals and that he used
to smell her pants and fingers her
each time she travelled to check
whether she had slept with another
man.
“My husband married me about three
and a half years ago as a virgin and
we gave birth to a child who is two-
year-old, Emmanuel. We’ve separated
for about one and a half years and he
has not been responsible for our
welfare. Whenever he beats me, he
either takes me to the hospital for
treatment by himself or calls a nurse
to come and set a drip for me in the
house. I’ve tried to endure his excesses
but it seems my patience does not pay
any longer.
“After delivering my baby, he insisted
on taking the child to his family house
where unfortunately, my things were
set on fire when a stick of matches
was lit and thrown into my room
through a window. It was after that
incident that he told me he was taking
the child to Lagos for money rituals.
He took this step twice but he returned
to me with the baby that he was told
the child was not useful.
“Each time I asked him to give me
money to take care of our child, he
would say: “the child is not useful for
me,” and since then I’ve been doing
what I could for the child. I can’t
dispute the fact that his sisters brought
golden morn and milk for the child
every month since he started feeding on
them but it’s not enough.
“He paid no dowry on me before we
became husband and wife because I
was the one who ran,” Dasola told the
court.
The defendant, Taiwo, denied the
allegations. He said that his wife is
promiscuous and stubborn.
“I observed that each time I go to my
shop, my wife calls other men. She
even uses my phone sometimes to make
calls. I’ve tried to stop her but she’s
been adamant.
“She’s stubborn, disobedient and
wayward. Shortly after our marriage,
we had a quarrel and she slapped me.”
T he court, however, asked Taiwo if
he ever beat his wife and what step
his parents took. He replied ‘I never
beat her once.’ Dasola, however,
opened up to the court that
although Taiwo’s father has been
intervening in their affairs since
they got married, he withdrew at
the point of provocation from his
son. She said that Taiwo takes
advantage of his father’s old age
and opposes him each time he tries
to make peace between them and
that his mother is dead.
Not satisfied with his wife’s
submissions, Taiwo said: “I’ve made a
mistake getting married to you.”
President of the court, Chief Agbaje
Henry Olasunkanmi, after listening to
the couple, told them to bring their
family members and the child,
Emmanuel to the court on November
11 for judgement.
