A 25-year-old undergraduate and a mother of one, Fatimo Akinwunmi, on Thursday, pleaded with an Agege Customary Court to dissolve her four-year-old marriage to her husband, Sadiq Akinwumi, over alleged lack of love and constant battery.
Fatimo, a 200-level student of the National Teachers Institute, Kaduna, who resides at Fadahunsi St., Okeira, Aguda-Ogba in Lagos, told the court that “my husband constantly beats me and no longer cares for me and our child. My husband refused to be responsible, living my care and that of our child to his parents. All he does is to sleep with me, without any form of protection, and wanting me to conceive another child, while he remained jobless,’’
The petitioner, prayed for the court to dissolve the marriage noting, “I am no longer interested in the union. This our marriage has broken down irretrievably, as there has been no love and peace since the inception of the marriage. My husband does not care for me and beats me habitually. He doesn’t know his responsibility in feeding and clothing his family,’’ she said. The court president, Mr. Philip Williams, adjourned the case till Sept. 14, for further hearing.
