A married lady, Olamide Lawal, has dragged her husband to court over her worries of dying from sex, claiming he is ready to kill her with it.
“I’ve been married to Lawal for 14 years. He’s an unrepentant drunk with no human compassion.”
Lawal, a mother of three, petitioned a Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Mapo, Ibadan, for a divorce on the grounds that her husband, Saheed Lawal, engages her in excessive sex.
Mrs Lawal, who lives in Ibadan, also accused her husband of being an alcoholic in her plea.
”He devotes his time to beer consumption, beating and forcing me to have sex with him. He does not provide for my children.
”I cannot stand him anymore,” she said.
She further pleaded with the court to restrain her husband from calling her mobile phone or visiting her apartment.
Mr Lawal, however, prayed the court to pacify his wife to remain with him.
”I am remorseful and turned my life around. I have stopped drinking alcohol. I am ready to start giving the children feeding money,” Mr Lawal, a fashion designer, said.
S.M. Akintayo, the president of the court, adjourned the matter until March 1 for judgment.
