My wife buried charms in front of my house —Husband

Firstclass newsline learnt that a 56-year-old civil servant, Adeolu
Olatoye, has told an Igando customary court in Lagos State that his
wife, Adebola was fetish and once buried charms in front of his house.
Olatoye, who testified in divorce proceedings, said that his
40-year-old wife was always advising him to seek black powers.
"I caught my wife digging a hole in front of my house as she buried many charms.
"She had on two occasions, unknown to me, taken me to spiritualists
for black powers, which I refused,'' he said.
Olatoye said that his wife was always controlled by her mother and
only listened to her mother's instructions.
"My wife is being controlled by her mother on how to run my house. She
used to tell me that her mother is her priority, that I am secondary
in her life,'' the petitioner said.
Olatoye further told the court his wife was ungrateful to him despite
the fact that he established her by renting a shop and stocked it with
electronics and computer gadgets.
He said that his wife did not open the shop until the rent expired two
years after.
He said Adebola was always demanding money from him and whenever he
gave her the money, she would take it to her mother and asked him for
more.
"My wife forcibly collected money from me, took it to her mother and
also transferred the foodstuffs I bought to her.
"There was a time she collected N50, 000 loan on my behalf without my
consent for her mother. I paid N75, 000 back to the people she loaned
the money from.
"I refunded money I knew nothing about."
Olatoye pleaded with the court to dissolve his five-year-old marriage
because he was tired and was no longer in love.
However, Adebola denied all the allegations saying that she did not
bury anything in her husband's compound, neither did she take her
husband to any spiritualist.
"I did not bury anything in front of my husband's compound, I am not a
fetish person,'' Adebola said.
The mother of two said that she did not forcibly took any loan for her
mother nor transfer any foodstuff to her.
Adebola begged the court not to grant her husband's wish because she
was still in love with him.
The court adjourned the case till September 16 for judgement.
