Grant Me Divorce Before My Wife Kills Me With Beating – Man Begs Court 

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the embattled Saka informed the Court that his wife used to lock him inside their room and beat him mercilessly. And he feared that she might beat him to death one day if they are not separated.

He also accused his wife, Sadia, of irresponsibility, drunkeness and domestic violence while lamenting that his marriage to her truncated his joy and left him living a frustrated life.

He explained that he gave the wife N50, 000 to start a business, but that she’s spent it on alcohol and after dinking and getting drunk, would mess up their apartment and bedwet.

“She would lock me up in our room and beat me to a pulp anytime I complained of her disgraceful act and I have reported Sadia to the Police on several occasions. But has she refused to change, which made me to come to this Honourable Court seeking for divorce.”

The plaintiff, apart from seeking divorce, requested an order restricting his wife from threatening and interfering with his private life.

In response, Sadia told the court she was also fed up with the marriage and told the Court that her husband was selfish and that he reneged on his promise to take good care of her.

According to her, the plaintiff gave her only N200 for food per day, while he would buy foodstuff and also cook stew and keep them in his room. Sadia added that Saka was in the habit of sending his wives packing. According to her, she was the seventh wife he was divorcing.

Saka, in his evidence, said, “My lord, my wife is a thorn in the flesh.

She has ridiculed me enough. I want her out of my house and life”.

“I have never met her parents. I only know her sister, which was why I did not pay her bride price. She moved in with me in 2020 and turned my life upside down. I gave her N50, 000 to empower her. I sat her down and enlightened her on the different businesses she could go into. I felt I was relating with a reasonable and sensible person, but this was not the case. My wife to my chagrin took to drinking.”

“She could drink a barrel of beer in a day. She spent the N50, 000 I gave her on alcohol.

Sadia would go out without my consent and return home drunk. Our apartment and our room, especially, are filled with odour. My wife messes up our apartment whenever she’s drunk and also wets the bed. Our mattress stinks because she urinates on the bed.”
