“My husband relocated us to his house in Ikorodu, Lagos and rented another apartment in Ikotun claiming Ikorodu is far from his working place in Ikotun.
“I sell clothes in Idumota, Lagos Island and I go from Ikotun; I never complain of distance.
“Since my husband insisted on leaving alone in Ikotun, I always take food to him every week.
“He told me to stop bringing food for him and stop coming to his house.
“There was a day I went to his house unannounced when he stopped picking my calls and I saw a woman in his kitchen cooking,” she said.
Olajumoke who bore her husband three kids said that the children told her that their father told them to leave the house in Ikorodu that he had sold it.
“Please, help me beg my husband to come home; his room is still there vacant, I am not ready for divorce,” she pleaded with the court.
The petitioner, Mr Gbolahan Olajumoke, 52, said:
“My wife was cool and gentle when we were dating, but after the wedding, she became a demon.
“She is a trouble maker, she fights with me, my family, my friends and even neighbours.
“Because of her frequent fight, I had to relocate to a different area, “he said.
Olajumoke told the court that his wife sometimes goes out and do not return home until the following day.
“My wife always takes extra clothes in her bag when going out in the morning to her shop and will not come home to sleep,” the petitioner said.
“Please, I can no longer tolerate this loveless marriage, I have tolerated her enough,” he said.
The estranged couple were urged by the court president, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, couple to come for Alternative Dispute Resolution along with three members of their families and adjourned the case till Sept. 26.
