Cleric Catches Pregnant Wife Having S*x With Lover In Bed

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

The 6-year old marriage between a cleric,  Abdulrasheed Olalere, and his pregnant wife, Mariam, has collapsed after the husband returned to see his wife having sex with her lover in their matrimonial home in Ibadan, Oyo State.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the embattled Olalere, consequently was brought before the Mapo Customary Court sitting in Ibadan over the dissolution of the marriage on ground of infidelity and it was granted by the Court.

Mr. Olalere in his reply to a divorce suit filed by Mariam, accused her of infidelity and attempts to elope with her lover and that was what prompted her to file the suit.

“I caught Mariam in bed with another man when she was four months pregnant. I was angry with her but we settled the matter. The man also laid claim to the baby. But after medical reports revealed that the date given by the man proved him wrong about the date of the pregnancy, I accepted her back.”

“After interventions from different people, things were working well until she started hanging with her lover again,” he said.

“My lord, I caught her trying to elope with that same man. Mariam is wayward,” Mr. Olalere submitted.

However, the wife, Mariam, insisted that her man was an irresponsible and uncaring husband and wanted the marriage to be dissolved so that she will move on with her life.

She said she had nothing to say on the allegations that she attempted to elope with her lover.

Delivering judgment, the President of the Court, Chief Ademola Odunade, held that the marriage was initially not built on a solid foundation of love and trust.

Chief Odunade consequently dissolved the union in the interest of peace.
He awarded the custody of the child to Mariam and ordered Olalere to pay N5,000 for the child’s monthly upkeep.
