In the divorce case between a sexagenarian, Mr Muyili Oshode, and his wife, Ibidunni, the Igando Customary Court in Lagos State on Monday dissolved the 44-year marriage on the ground that the wife turned her husband into an impotent person.
The court’s president, Mr Akin Akinniyi, delivering his judgment said the petitioner was adamant despite all mediation from the court and family intervention.
“Since the petitioner insisted on divorce after several interventions, the court has no choice than to dissolve the union in spite of the fact that the wife still claims she loves her husband.
“The court pronounced the marriage between Mr Muyili Oshode and Mrs Ibidunni Oshode dissolved today, both parties, henceforth, ceased to be husband and wife.
“Both are free to go their separate ways without any hindrances and molestation,” Akinniyi ruled.
The petitioner had earlier told the court that his wife was fetish.
“My wife is fetish, she patronised many herbalists and she had used her diabolical power to paralyse my manhood for me not to be able to marry or impregnate another woman.
“In fact, my manhood no longer stands erect nor functions,” he said.
The 66-year-old mechanic said his wife was threatening his life with a view to killing him.
“I saw Ibidunni in my dream poisoning my food so that she can inherit my property,” the estranged husband said.
The petitioner said his wife was not taking care of him and that when he was sick, she went to stay in a church instead of attending to him.
Oshode said Ibidunni was promiscuous, having an affair with a man called “Alaga” and she used to cook for the man in his house.
“I saw the man in my dream telling me that Ibidunni belonged to him that I should back out,” he said.
According to him, Ibidunni is a bad cook; her food is either watery or salty.
He begged the court to terminate the union that he was no longer interested.
