The marriage between Azeez Hakeem and his wife, Mufuli, has crashed after the wife became pregnant, put to bed and their landlord claimed that the baby belonged to him because he had been sleeping with Mufuli when her husband was not around.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the Ibadan-based truck driver, Azeez Hakeem, made the revelation on Tuesday at Ile-Tuntun Customary Court in Ibadan that his wife, Mufuli, was fond of sleeping with their landlord.
Hakeem, who lives at Popo Yemoja area of Ibadan, stated this while reacting to his wife’s allegation of battery before Chief Henry Agbaje, the President of the Court. He said that while his wife, Mufuli, was pregnant with their second child, their landlord claimed the pregnancy was his.
“After the child was born, he came to my parents’ house insisting on being the one to name the child. We resolved the issue, but she still didn’t desist from her promiscuous attitude. She’s usually not concerned about the children’s dinner, as she returns home very late, with the excuse of going to pray in the Mosque.”
“Even after she left the house, I still rented another apartment and took care of the kids” he said.
Hakeem told the Court that his younger brother once called him on the phone to inform him of his wife’s new found lover.
“I confirmed this to be true when I went to her house, but I did nothing about it,” he said.
Earlier, the plaintiff, Mufuli, had informed the Court that her husband was in the habit of beating her, even in front of the children.
Mufuli claimed that the serial beating forced her to leave her matrimonial home.
“I refused to leave him against the advice of our family members and friends, choosing rather to endure the battery because I didn’t want to remarry. However, when the beating became unbearable, I left the house in 2016.
I started dating another man last year, and when he found out, he came again to beat him up” she told the Court.
The President of the Court advised the couple to resolve their differences for the sake of their children. He, however, adjourned the case till December, 9, 2019.
