Woman Ordered To Strip Naked Publicly Over S*x With Another Man

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the petitioner, Mrs. Sandra, who resides at Jaiyeoba Street, Igando area of Lagos, tried to justify her action by stating that she was denied her sexual needs by her husband and when she tried it elsewhere for the first time she was caught in the act.

The mother of three children is now asking the Court to grant her divorce from her husband on the grounds of abandonment, cheating and negligence so that she will move on with her life.

“My husband, who is based in Austria, has since abandoned the home. He has come home a total of five times since our marriage in 2019, and had beaten me up once with a belt because of another woman.”

“I found out he was seeing another woman and I confronted him only for him to beat me up with a belt. I later ran to my uncle’s house for protection but my uncle mediated and settled our misunderstanding and my husband promised not to lay his hands on me again.”

“After settling, he travelled back with a promise to come back a year later but he did not. So due to frustration, we exchanged words on the phone; his family held on to what I said and termed it abominable and labelled me a bad wife.”

“Unfortunately, the next time he would come back was 2022, but before then he stopped sending money for upkeep for our children and left all responsibilities to me; all efforts to speak with him proved abortive.”

“The last time I called him, it was a lady that picked up the call and she later told me that I was waiting for my husband in vain and that I should better move on. She said all types of spiteful and hurtful words to me, which my husband didn’t see anything wrong with” she said.

The embittered woman also told the Court that throughout the period her mother was sick and later died, her husband did nothing about it neither did he call or check up on her.

“He later sent meagre money after I expressed my displeasure, and in his words, he said I should better be grateful as he didn’t even have money to send to me; that the money he sent was borrowed from his girlfriend.”

“When I saw that my husband was not trying to make the marriage work nor even attend to my sexual needs, I had a one-time affair. His family said I must dance naked in the village square as atonement and pay the sum of N100,000.”

“After the whole rites, then I can be free to go. I asked my husband if he would still accept me, and he said no. It is because of this I want a divorce from him as I do not even intend to perform the rites either. It’s best we both go our separate ways and I be granted custody of the children,” Mrs. Iyenanye said.

Standing in for the respondent was his brother, Mr. Cobina Iyenanye, who had good things to say about his brother’s wife and sang praises of her.

“I commend her resilience and patience, she’s a good woman. She has tried, she is not a bad person. I only agreed to come to the Court because I want them to separate without fights and all dues be given to the woman,” he said.

The Court President, Mr. Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned until 2nd August, 2022, for judgment.
