A Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan has dissolved a 33-year-old marriage over the complain of threat to life made by a retired civil servant, Mr Jimoh Babatunde, against his estranged wife, Jelilat.
Mr. Babatunde told the court presided over by Henric Agbaje that Jelilat had made two attempts on his life and had even confessed to killing one of their four children.
The husband said: "My lord, Jelilat confessed to have killed one of our four children in order to eventually eliminate me for reasons which I cannot actually tell.
"Secondly, she put some stuff into my food recently to hypnotise and make me be in servitude to her."
He said that his estranged wife had also tarnished his image and made him a laughing stock in their area. The troubled man also described Jelilat as insolent, disobedient and lacked care for the children.
“I did all I could to change her for the better by talking to her and reporting her to her parents, but nothing came out of it. Now, she wants to sniff life out of me,” Mr Babatunde stressed.
As would be expected, Jelilat opposed the dissolution of the marriage and denied everything the man said.
She claimed that if the marriage is dissolved, she had nowhere to go and desired to remain the mother of her children in her matrimonial home. She even begged the court that she would change. *Yinmu!*
Ruling on the divorce petition, The court president held that it was clear that the relationship between Jimoh and Jelilat had turned sour and was irreconcilable.
“The court frowns at any case of threat to life as the one currently been witnessed. It is abundantly clear that there is something cruel about Jelilat’s disposition, otherwise, no man would want to part ways with a 33-year-old union.
“In the interest of peaceful coexistence, the court has put an end to the union between both of you."
