A farmer, Mr Williams Famuyibo, on Wednesday told the Mapo Grade ‘A’ Customary Court in Ibadan the story of how his wife of 32 years has made his life miserable by frequent beatings, praying the court to dissolve the marriage.
Famuyibo, who resides in Ibadan, said he could no longer take the beatings from Sola, his estranged wife.
“I ran away from our home in January.
“My lord, due to Sola’s unhealthy attitude and meanness towards me, I am now living with my brother.
“In fact, I don’t have peace of mind because she doesn’t take care of me.
“I had five children before I married Sola in 1990, but all of them are living with my other relatives as a result of Sola’s repulsive attitude,” Famuyibo said.
Sola was neither present nor represented by any counsel in the matter in spite of hearing notices being served on her.
The President of the court, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, directed the court bailiff to notify the respondent of the next adjourned date.
Akintayo adjourned the suit until May 26 for further hearing.
