A man identified as Kabiru has dragged his wife, Kadiat, before the Grade A Customary Court sitting in Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, seeking the dissolution of their six-year-old marriage over allegations of misconduct, violence, and threats to his life.

Kabiru told the court that he already had two wives before marrying Kadiat, who became his third wife.

He explained that their union was peaceful and harmonious until he married another wife after her.

Kabiru alleged that Kadiat began creating problems in the home and frequently engaged him in fights. He further claimed that she became violent and once attempted to stab him while he was asleep beside her in the middle of the night.

The plaintiff stated that he might have lost his life if not for his swift reaction in overpowering her and retrieving the knife from her.

Kabiru told the court that he feared Kadiat might one day stab him to death.

He therefore appealed to the court to dissolve their marriage and declare that they were no longer husband and wife.

He also sought an order restraining her from threatening and interfering in his private life.

Kadiat, however, was absent from court despite having been served with court summons.

Kabiru, while testifying before the court, stated:

“My wife and I contracted a traditional marriage in 2020, and I paid N50,000 as her bride price.

“Before marrying her, I already had two wives.

“Kadiat and I initially had a cordial and loving relationship.

“Our marriage was peaceful and fulfilling.

“I always looked forward to returning home after work because I knew she would be there waiting for me.

“She was caring, supportive, and pleasant to be with.

“We shared each other’s burdens and celebrated our successes together.

“However, everything changed after I married another wife.

“Kadiat became withdrawn and started behaving badly.

“She became unruly, disobeyed my instructions, and constantly picked fights with me.

“She turned our home upside down and made life unbearable for me.

“I lost my peace of mind and no longer looked forward to going home after work.

“I never imagined things would get worse.

“One night, while we were in bed and I was drifting off to sleep, she suddenly brought out a knife and attempted to stab me.

“I would have lost my life if I had not reacted swiftly by jumping out of bed, overpowering her, and seizing the knife from her before fleeing to safety.

“I no longer wish to continue the marriage because I fear for my life. If I remain in the relationship, she may eventually kill me.

“I therefore urge this honourable court to dissolve our marriage.

“I have already deposited N500,000 for our children’s school fees.

“I also seek an order restraining her from threatening or interfering with my private life.”

The President of the court, Mrs. S.M. Akintayo, adjourned the case until July 17 for cross-examination or possible foreclosure of the matter.

The Edo State Security Network (ESSN) has arrested two suspects with a large quantity of Illicit drugs at different locations in Benin.

This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the
Commissioner for Public Security and Safety, Festus Ebea.

Ebea, who named the suspects as Efosa Uyi and Stella Thompson, noted the state government is committed to ensuring the state is free from illicit drugs.

According to him, drugs recovered included, Indian hemp, crystal methamphetamine (Ice), Colorado (Colos), Canadian Loud, and Scottish Loud, which were seized in large quantities.

Ebea warned drug addicts and those selling Illicit drugs to stay off Edo State, stressing that it’s not a safe haven for their operations.

He disclosed that the suspects will be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for further prosecution. He noted that the prosecution will be followed strictly to ensure justice is served.

“We have arrested two suspects at different points in Benin and primarily will hand them over to NDLEA. We are working very hard to assist the drug agency to get rid of those engaged in drug activities in the state.

“We are not relenting in combing the State and getting drug addicts, and those trading in illicit drugs off the State.

“These two suspects were arrested on Friday 29th May 2026 with a large quantity of Illicit drugs.We are using this medium to warn those selling and dealing in illicit drugs to stop as the State will not be safe for them”.

He called on the youths to stay off drugs as it’s not beneficial to users as they remain useless and end up bad in society.

“We equally call on the youths to stay off drugs as it has no positive impact on their lives but rather end up being useless to the society.

“To save our youth from these illicit drugs, we have to arrest those selling and distributing these drugs in society. Hence, these ones have been arrested and brought before the media.”

Ebea urged journalists to follow up the story and ensure justice is served to serve as a deterrent to other youths.

“Our youths should stay off drugs as it has no benefits to any users, you can’t think of. It will make you end up useless and degraded in society, encourage the youths to stay off drugs, and be safe.

“No criminal arrests that are not connected to drugs. They use drugs to carry out their nefarious activities in the state,” he said.

A 39-year-old man from Barlastone brought the Matero Local Court, Zambia gallery to laughter after he revealed that he married a Lusaka seller who charged him K50 per round during their matrimonial games.

Aubrey told the court that the behaviour of his wife, Stella Tembo, a 25-year-old Easterner was undiplomatic due to her unacceptable demands and conditions every time he wanted to be intimate with her.

According to Zambia Observer, he said the two got married in 2009 and that his wife had continually made his life miserable for the past 17 years that he got to a point that he resorted to never have s3x her again.

He lamented that when he finally gave up on paying for what rightfully and lawfully belonged to him, Stella started covering her entire body with clothes while in bed.

“I have never had peace. Despite paying lobola, I was still paying to have sex with her.

“I also found out that she was using charms on me, such that I could not say no to her even though I was paying,” he said.

In her defense, Stella swore that she had been a good wife to Aubrey and that he was free to express his desires on her in whatever style he wished.

She said she only started charging him after he married another woman elsewhere and rented a house for her.

“He even moved out of our home, saying he had gone to the mountain to pray.

“For five months, my husband was nowhere to be found.

“I later discovered that he had married elsewhere and was renting another house,” she said.

The wife also accused her husband of using charms on her, which left her like the woman with the issue of blood in the Bible, who was isolated from the society for 12 years.

“He cut a piece from my green chitenge and took it to a witchdoctor, and I have never stopped bleeding since then,” she alleged.

The magistrate, Harriet Mulenga granted the couple divorce and ordered the husband to pay the wife K17,000 for adultery.

Mulenga also ordered Aubrey to pay K1,000 monthly child maintenance, while household goods were to be shared equally between the two parties.

…you came back too late —Woman

A 40-year-old businessman, Auwal Musa, has prayed a Sharia court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, Kaduna State, to order his ex-wife, Hauwa, to return to their matrimonial home.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Auwal, in his petition, said that his ex-wife forced him to divorce her after a year of getting married to her.

“I signed the divorce papers under duress. I gave one pronouncement of divorce to her and later went to their house to cancel the divorce before she finished the Iddah, but she refused to come back.

“She had left with my plasma TV, gas cylinder, electric kettle, two caps and documents belonging to my father. I want them back,” he said.

In her defense, Hauwa said he came back too late.

She explained that she had already finished her waiting period (Iddah) before Musa asked her to come back.

“I only took his plasma TV and gas cylinder. I am keeping the items pending when he pays me the N31,500 he owes me.

“He gave me the electric kettle as a gift while we were courting.

“I have no idea where his caps and father’s documents are,” she said.

The judge, Malam Murtala Nasir, advised Musa to go home and search for the documents.

He then adjourned the case.
