A mother of three, Olamide Lawal, on Friday pleaded with a Grade "A" Customary Court in Mapo, Ibadan, to grant her divorce on grounds that her husband, Saheed Lawal, engaged her with too much sex. In her petition, Mrs. Lawal, who lives in Ibadan, also accused her husband of being drunk.
"I've been married to Lawal for 14 years. He is an unrepentant alcoholic who lacks human compassion.
"He spends his time drinking alcohol, abusing me, and pushing me to have sex with him." My children are not provided for by him.
"I can't take him any longer," she expressed her displeasure.
She also asked the court to stop her spouse from phoning her cell phone or coming to her residence.
Mr Lawal, on the other hand, pleaded with the court to allow his wife to remain with him.
"I'm sorry, and I've turned my life around." I have abstained from consuming alcoholic beverages. Mr Lawal, a fashion designer, stated, "I am ready to start giving the youngsters lunch money."
The president of the court, S.M. Akintayo, who adjourned the case until March 1 for judgment, advised the couple to keep their cool.
