Grade A Customary Court sitting at Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, has adjourned a divorce case for defence.

The suit was filed by a woman, Oyinkansola, against her husband, Adelani, whom she accused of showing indifference to their struggle with infertility.

Oyinkansola stated that they got married in 2018 and have since experienced delays in having children.

She explained that after trying other options without success, she turned to orthodox medical treatment.

She further alleged that her husband consistently showed little concern about their plight.

According to her, they were both expected to attend medical treatments together, but Adelani refused to make himself available.

She added that she has been solely responsible for the medical expenses.

Oyinkansola added that all her attempts to make her husband understand the situation were unsuccessful.

She stated that they had been living apart for some time due to her frustration.

The plaintiff told the court that she intends to dissolve their marriage and move on with her life.

Adelani was present in court when the case was first mentioned and opposed the dissolution of their marriage.

However, he was absent on the day the hearing commenced.

In her testimony, Oyinkansola said, “My husband and I had our marriage solemnised in church in 2018.

“He paid my bride price, and we began living together as a couple.

“While we were courting, we agreed that we would have children early, but that did not happen.

“As time passed without a child, I became anxious, but my husband remained unconcerned.

“I sought medical help, and we were advised to undergo treatment for infertility.

“I was informed that both of us needed to undergo the treatment, and I explained this to my husband.

“However, to my disappointment, he showed no concern about our situation and refused to attend the treatments with me.

”The more I tried to make him understand, the more rigid he became.

“I paid for my treatments myself; he did not contribute anything.

“I eventually left my matrimonial home and began living separately after becoming overwhelmed by his indifferent attitude.

“I approached the court because I have decided to move on with my life.

“I am no longer interested in our relationship.

“When I left, he did not allow me to take my belongings.

“I, therefore, ask the court to direct him to permit me to remove all my possessions from his house.”

After hearing the plaintiff, the president of the court, Mrs. S. M. Akintayo, ordered that a fresh hearing notice be issued and served on the defendant.

She subsequently adjourned the case until April 27 for the defence.

He was apprehended on Saturday, 2 May, at his residence in Ibadan after months of evading the authorities.

He was caught alongside his salesman, Mustapha Oyerinde, with 3.085kg of cannabis and a getaway vehicle.

A 65-year-old driver was intercepted at the Ile-Ife toll gate in Osun state conveying skunk and methamphetamine, leading to a follow up arrest of the consignment’s owner in Ilesha.

In line with it’s mandate, the NDLEA continued its War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) advocacy, holding enlightenment lectures for students, Islamic schools, and commercial motorcyclists in Niger, Kano, Anambra, and Lagos states.

The NDLEA’s Director of Media and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi, noted that the agency remains committed to “cleansing the streets” of both notorious distributors and those who use age as a shield for criminal activity.
