Oladipo, in his evidence, said, “My wife has become rebellious in the home because she associates with bad friends who influence her negatively.
“She flouts my orders at will and humilates me before our neighbours and her friends.
“I set her up in business at three different times, but all my resources went down the drain.
“My wife is defiant. I warned her against selling alcoholic drinks, but she turned a deaf ear to me and went ahead into the business.
“I got furious, went to her shop, and ordered her to close the business.
“My wife, to my chagrin, pounced on me, beat me to a pulp, and tore my clothes to shreds.
“She humiliated me in the presence of her friends and the neighbourhood.
“My lord, I have had enough of my wife’s atrocities.

“I further request an order restricting her from threatening and interfering with my private life.”
Tosin, in her testimony, said, “My lord, we fight because of food.
“He refused to give me a feeding allowance to buy foodstuff.
“He gave me and our only child peanut to buy cooked food from food vendors, which was not satisfying. “It is true that he established a business for me three times, but I spent the proceeds from them on food since he never ceased to starve me and our child.
“I decided to cook my meals, and he started accusing me of infidelity.
“My lord, I agree to divorce, but I pray this honourable court to grant me custody of our child because she is a female.
“I also appeal to the court to make him responsible for her upkeep, giving feeding, education, and health care a priority.”
The court president, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, after she heard both parties, adjourned the case.

He said following the arrest of the suspects, the Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Ikioye Orutugu, expressed deep concern over the rising cases of moral decadence in the society, adding that the suspects were arrested by police operatives attached to the Rapid Response Squad, Awkuzu.
The statement read, “The suspects identified as Nmesoma Josephine Nwoye, female, aged 23 years, and Chibuike Ogbu, male, aged 24 years, were arrested after intelligence-led operations uncovered that the supposed victim conspired with Chibuike (her boyfriend) to stage her own abduction.
“The operatives also recovered the sum of ₦1,200,000, being part of the ransom earlier paid by the girl’s family members.

“Reacting to the development, CP Orutugu described the incident as a reflection of the rising moral decay in the society, where young people are increasingly resorting to criminality for selfish gains.”
According to him, the CP urged parents, guardians, and religious leaders to intensify efforts in inculcating discipline, integrity, and sound values in their children and wards.
“The CP also warned youths against engaging in self-destructive ventures, stressing that the long arm of the law will always catch up with criminals, no matter how cleverly disguised their schemes may be,” the statement added.

A 35-year-old man identified as Peter Ugochukwu Odom, a native of Oyinkwa village in Amachi Community, was reportedly electrocuted while erecting a pole at Nkwoagu in Abakaliki Local Government Area of the State.
It was gathered that the deceased, who worked with Ibortic Concrete Investment Ltd, was part of a team contracted to install new poles in the area.
It was in the course of mounting the poles that he accidentally touched a live high-tension wire, leading to his instant electrocution.

Confirming the incident, the Managing Director of the company, Mr. Peter Ibor Chukwuemeka, who also disclosed that the victim was his younger brother, expressed deep grief over the loss.
According to him, the team had been invited by a customer to deliver and mount a concrete pole near Nkwoagu.
“We were called for the job. The customer assured my boys that power had already been disconnected from the high-tension line in the area. Unfortunately, that information was false.

Mr. Chukwuemeka lamented that the deceased, who had worked with him for over three years, was a diligent staff and the breadwinner of his young family.
The victim’s uncle, Mr. Ezeode Samuel, confirmed the incident and described the incident as a great loss to the family, adding that burial arrangements would be decided after consultations.
