A hotelier, Oluwafemi Ajadi, on Monday asked an Agege Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his 16- year old marriage to his wife, Chinwe, over threat to life and infidelity.
But Chinwe, 35, amid tears, urged the court not to grant the petitioner’s application on the grounds that she had aborted several pregnancies for him before their union was legalised.
The petitioner, a native of Ibadan in Oyo State, told the court that he was no longer interested in the marriage.
Ajadi, who lives at No. 26, Bamgboye St., Mushin, Lagos, described his wife as arrogant and a trouble maker.
“My wife is a party freak; I warned her to desist from moving around with bad friends but she did not heed my warning.
“ She also likes frolicking with different men.
“She is not caring and lacks respect for the institution of marriage; please separate us, I can no longer live with her,” he said.
The respondent, who denied the allegations, pleaded with the court to save her marriage.
