A Lagos-based businessman, Tope Oluwatuyi Fasanmi, has
dragged his wife, Zainab Fasanmi, before the Agege Grade ‘A’ Customary
Court, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, describing her as a prostitute who
slept with his company driver.
The divorce-seeking
businessman accused his 32-year old wife of engaging in constant fight
with him, lack of respect for his family, asking the court to dissolve
the marriage over irreconcilable differences.
He further told the
court that his wife keeps late nights and doesn’t bother about the
welfare of their only child on such occasions.
“My wife likes
keeping late rights. She does not bother about my welfare nor that of
our only child. In fact, to make love to her is a problem. She’s a
prostitute and I don’t want her in my life anymore.
“Whatever we
discuss at home, she will go and discuss with her mother. I bought a car
for her to be conveying my son to and from school, but she prefers to
drive the car to beer parlours to frolic with her manfriend.
“There
was a time a man sent a text to her phone that he really enjoyed her,
asking when they will meet again. When I asked her about the text
message, she turned it to something else and an argument ensued and I
slapped her. She used that as an excuse to go back to her parents’
house.
“When I dialed the number that text her, it turned out to
be that of my company driver whom I usually send home to bring things to
my house not knowing that they were sleeping with each other,” the man
told the court.
Speaking further, he told the court that all his
efforts to satisfy her turns out to be his undoing, adding that the
blackberry phone he bought for her aided her promiscuity.
The
wife, while defending all the allegations levelled against her, said
that since they got married in 2007, her husband has been taking very
good care of her.
She added that what caused disaffection in the
marriage was after she came back from her parents’ house (after he
slapped her) and met used condoms, earrings and underwear in their room.
“After
all these discoveries, I did not ask him anything about them and he
behaved like a real gentleman for a while. All he said about me was not
true. I don’t go to beer parlours or smoke, but I’m fashion conscious.
“It’s
true that he bought a car for me but it was a joint effort. He’s
promiscuous. He has three girlfriends at Winners’ Chapel where he
worships on Sundays. There was a time he left me in church and didn’t
come back to pick me home. When I called him, his phone was switched
off.
“When I confronted him at home, he lied that he was called
from office. When even I tried to correct him, he will shout at me and
turn it to something else,” the wife said.
She pleaded with the court to save her marriage, adding that she still loves her husband very much.
The
court president, after listening to both parties, urged them to go home
and reconcile, while the matter was adjourned for further hearin
