One Latifat Adeleke, a mother of two, Wednesday, sought for the dissolution of her nine-year-old marriage to her husband, Adetola Adeleke, at a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan, Oyo state, over alleged sexual starvation.
In her petition to the court, Latifat, a trader, alleged that Adeleke, a spare parts dealer, aside from neglecting his traditional responsibilities of catering for her and the two children, had no time for her sexual desire.
“Adeleke has over three to four years now, failed in his responsibilities as a husband towards me and as a father to his two children. The worst of all, my Lord, is that he has kept away from having sexual intercourse with me which greatly saddens my heart. Adeleke has completely denied me sex.
“I am fed up. We no longer stay together and the bond of love between us has disappeared,” Latifat declared.
On his part, her husband denied all the allegations levelled against him by his wife. He told the court that he was happy to part ways with Latifat.
According to the father of two, his wife was adulterous, extravagant and a party enthusiast.
Adeleke said, “My lord, this year alone, Latifat has dubiously obtained close to N300, 000 from me in the name of celebrating birthday for our children.
“I once caught her red-handed with her lover on our matrimonial bed,” the defendant added, stating that when he asked his wife if what she did was right or not, there was no remorse, even when it actually happened in their matrimonial home.
Speaking further, Adeleke told the court, “She has been involved in all manners of atrocities; this is why I called it all off with her.
“Please, my Lord, I don’t want her to take custody of the eight and six year-old children, because she doesn’t stay around; Latifat keeps going to parties.”
The President of the court, Mr Ademola Odunade, after listening to both parties, directed that the duo produce evidence to support their claims.
Odunade, however, adjourned the case till January 27, 2016 for mention.
