Divorce: ‘Why I Denied My Wife Sex For 16 Years’

A 56-year-old man, Adebayo Ajibode, yesterday told an Alakuko Customary Court in Lagos that he refused to make love to his wife for 16 years because she is fetish.

Ajibode asked the court to dissolve his 30-year-old marriage to his wife for failing to carry out her matrimonial obligations.

Adebayo, a mechanic, who lives at Alakuko, urged the court to dissolve his marriage to Bosede because she was fond of neglecting her matrimonial duties.

He alleged that his wife would go out in the morning and return at night, and has failed to perform her duties as expected of a housewife thereby jeopardizing the life of their family.

He said, “I wanted to have my bath, but surprisingly I saw a charm under the bucket, when I called my wife she could not say a word, then I knew I had to be watchful.

“When I wanted to make love to her 16 years ago, I saw an incision on her chest and I could not go further because I knew it connoted bad omen. Since then, I have not made love to her. I also see cobwebs in front of my bedroom door each morning.”

He also accused his wife of killing his neighbour’s son after a fight with the mother.

Adebayo who is a father of three children, whose ages range between 25 and 30, told the court that his wife had married out two of his daughters without his knowledge.
