Grade A Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, has adjourned until April 15, judgment on the divorce suit brought before it by a man, Olawale, against his wife, Damola, whom he accused of misconduct as a result of negative influence from her friends.

The plaintiff explained that he set up the defendant in a business thrice, but that each one of them went bankrupt.

He added that he demanded that she stop selling alcoholic drinks but that she remained defiant.

Olawale stated that Damola beat her black and blue during a fight and tore his clothes.

According to the plaintiff, the defendant moved out of his house and later took to threatening him.

Olawale, therefore, begged the court to end their marriage.

He further requested an order restraining her from threatening and interfering with his private life.

Damola denied all the allegations brought against her.

She explained that the crux of their differences was food.

According to Damola, no cooking was done in their home.

Rather than cook, her husband would give her and the only child produced by their marriage stipend to by food from food vendors.

Damola explained that the food they bought was always small in quantity and unsatisfying.

This, according to the defendant, made her resort to cooking her own food, which did not go down well with her husband, who took to accusing her of immorality.

Damola admitted to ruining the business set up for her by her husband.

She stated that she spent the proceeds from these businesses on food.

Olawale, in his evidence, said, “My wife is recalcitrant in nature.

“She flouted my orders and always asked that I did my worst.

“Damola loved to associate with women who were morally bankrupt and had nothing to offer.

“She turned a deaf ear to my several warnings that she should disengage herself from this group.

“I established my wife in three different businesses, but all collapsed.

“My wife could not account for a dime out of large sum I pumped into these businesses.

“She started selling alcoholic drinks with my consent, and I insisted she closed down the business.

“My wife bluntly refused and dared that I did my worst.

“I informed her family of her misconduct, but she refused to turn a new leaf despite being councel.

“Damola pounced on me during a heated argument and beat me black and blue.

“She tore my clothes to shreds.

“She packed her belongings after this and moved out of my house.

“She has not desist from threatening me since she left my house.

“I plead that the court end our union and restrain her from threatening me.”

Damola responded, “My lord, my husband,

and I fought mainly because of food.

“He always gave me and the only child in our marriage stipend to buy food from food vendors.

“Apart from the fact that these foods were not properly prepared, the quantity served was also too small and unsatisfactory.

“I decided to cook my own food, and my husband became wrath with me.

“He accused me of infidelity.

“It is true that he set me up in a business three times.

“I spent the proceeds from them on food because my husband starved me and our only child.

“We always fought before he made money available for food.

“My lord, I want access to our child who is with him.

“I want her to spend her holidays with me.”

The president of the court, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, adjourned the case for judgment.
