How Court Dissolved 10-Year Old Marriage Over Marathon Sex
MICHAEL AKINOLA

A Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, on Tuesday, dissolved a 10-year old
marriage between Basirat Adeyoyin and her estranged husband, Adeyoyin Niyi,
over demands for 7 days marathon sex by the husband.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that while delivering judgment, the President of the Court,
Chief Ademola Odunade, said that the Court would not watch until there was
anarchy before making the right decision.
Odunade, therefore, dissolved the union between Basirat and Niyi in the
interest of peace and tranquility and awarded custody of the two children
produced by the union to the plaintiff then ordered the respondent to pay N10,
000 as the children’s monthly feeding allowance.
The court also ordered Niyi to be responsible for their education and other welfare.
In her earlier account, Basirat, a resident of Olonsogo-Molete, told the Court
that she was calling it quits with her husband because “he was making a
desperate effort to use her for money ritual”.
The businesswoman added that she first noticed this when her husband did not
show any regret after she lost her last pregnancy due to too many sexual
activities with him.
“Suddenly in 2018, Niyi came home one night and told me that he received a
message that he must have seven-day marathon sex with me without a gap of any
day.”
“I read no meaning to it and I allowed him until there was a problem. I was
already carrying a three-month old pregnancy before that time and on the second
day of the marathon sex, I lost the pregnancy.”
“I took care of myself in the hospital only for Niyi to come home to start
requesting for the continuation of the seven-day marathon sex even when I was
still bleeding.”
“Then, I consulted my parents and relatives and from every indication, we
discovered that he was trying to use me for money rituals,” Basirat said.
Consenting to the suit, the respondent did not deny the allegation of the
marathon sex but chose to raise new issues altogether.
Niyi submitted that his wife was too troublesome for him and was a careless
housewife.
“Even if this Court would dissolve my marriage, I pray to be given custody of
the two children because Basirat cannot take care of them.”
“One of the young boys in our neighborhood raped our first child and she did
not tell me about the incident.”
“My lord, it was because she often overstays in the market that such a thing
could happen,” Niyi added.
