Man, 71, Cries In Court Over Wife’s Sex Denial

CYRIACUS IZUEKWE

A 71-year-old mechanic, Mr Mojidi Osho, has filed a suit before an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State seeking for the dissolution of the 47-year old marriage with his wife, Tolu, for denying him sex for 10 years.

P.M.EXPRESS reports that the petitioner, Mr Mojidi, disclosed that his wife, Tolu, with whom he had ten children in their marriage, denied him his matrimonial right to sleep with her.

“I’m starving seriously but whenever I come home with my girlfriends, she will chase them away. The last time i had sex with my wife was 10 years ago” he said.

The septuagenarian also accused his wife of threatening to kill him so that she can inherit his property.
“My wife wants to kill me; she had been feeding me with poison. There was a day I fainted and was rushed to the hospital and it was detected that I ate poison. I thought I’ll not survive it but God saved me and I stopped eating her food” Mojidi said.

The embittered man added that his wife is a witch.
“My wife keeps attacking me in the spiritual realm. On two occasions, she shot arrows at me in my sleep which led to sicknesses but God healed me. She also buried charm in my workshop and customers stopped patronising me.”
“My wife made me impotent but I later survived it after spending huge amounts in the hospital and herbal treatment.
Tolu makes my life miserable, I would’ve gone far in life if I hadn’t married her. I regretted the day I met her and I wish I could turn the hand of the clock,’’ Mojidi Osho added.

According to him, his wife, Tolu, stopped washing his clothes twenty-seven years ago.
He, however, begged the Court to end the marriage to save him from committing murder.

Responding to the allegations, Tolu, 67, disclosed that she denied her husband sex only for 4 years not 10 years as he claimed.

“I stopped him from making love to me four years ago when he started bringing different girls home to sleep with, after which he’ll want to sleep with me; so I refused him,’’ Tolu told the Court.

The mother of ten children denied threatening her husband’s life to kill by poisoning.
“I haven’t poisoned my husband’s food since 1973 when we got married, is it now that I’ll poison him?
“He’s just looking for excuses to discard me; he came to this Court to divorce his second wife now he wants to also divorce me so that he can marry a new wife” she submitted.

According to Tolu, the man is fond of invoking curses on their children, which is affecting their lives now.
She, however, begged the Court not to grant her husband’s wish for the dissolution of their marriage saying she still loved him.

The Court President, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the case until February, 18, 2021, for judgment.
