I will Deny My Husband Sex until He Pays his Debt — Wife

Firstclass newsline learnt that a 39-year-old trader, Mrs Modinat
Idowu, told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos state on Thursday that
she would continue to deny her husband, one Akeem Idowu, sex until he
has paid the debt he is owing her.
Idowu said this while responding to a suit filed by her 45-year-old
husband whom he had been married to for 12 years.
"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,'' the mother of two said.
"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.''
She, however, urged the court not to grant her husband's wish for the
dissolution of their marriage,
saying that she was still in love with him.
The petitioner: Akeem, a businessman, had asked the court to dissolve
the 12-year-old marriage over alleged sex denial by his wife.
"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, he said.
"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,''
Akeem told the court.
He described Modinat as a liar, not trustworthy and always
inconsistent in her words and actions.
"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.'' Akeem said.
He pleaded with the court to dissolve the union since he was no longer
interested and did not love her any more.
The President of the court, Mr Hakeem Oyekan, adjourned the case to
July 22 for further hearing.
