Grade A Customary Court sitting at Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, has adjourned a divorce suit brought before it by a man, Akeem, against his wife, Asiatu, whom he alleged was in the habit of staying away from home and fighting him.

Akeem explained that Asiatu always found it hard to control her temper, which was the reason she fought all the time.

He stated that he went about almost naked because Asiatu had torn most of his clothes to shreds when fighting him.

The plaintiff stated that the defendant’s behaviour grew worse after she saw him with another woman.

According to Akeem, Asiatu in a bid to get even, took to going out at will and refusing to disclose where she went.

He added that she later stopped coming home to sleep.

The plaintiff stated that he no longer trusted the defendant.

According to him, it is dangerous living with such a woman.

Akeem thus prayed for the dissolution of their union.

Asiatu, although denied all the allegations brought against her, she agreed that their wedlock be dissolved.

Akeem testified thus: “My wife and I did not carry out any of the marital rites, nor did I pay her bride price.

“We met, dated, and she later moved in with me.

“I never knew I was courting trouble by allowing Asiatu to move in with me.

“My relationship with my wife has made my life wretched.

“Asiatu is short-tempered and quarrelsome; she never ceases to fight me.

“She creates a scene over trivial issues and will end up fighting me.

“My wife turns wild when in this angry mood.

“She will refuse to be placated.

“I go about almost naked because my wife has torn most of my clothes.

“She would pull my clothes during a fight and tear them to shreds.

“Matters got worse between us when she saw me with another woman.

“She got mad with me and vowed to retaliate.

“She turned deaf ears to all my explanation that there was nothing between the woman and I.

“Asiatu started leaving home without my consent.

“She also refused to disclose where she went.

“She would stay out as long as she liked and return home late in the night.

“My lord, I came to court because my wife has stopped sleeping at home. I no longer trust her.

“It is also dangerous staying under the same roof with someone whose activities are kept away from me.

“My life is no longer safe because Asiatu has become a stranger to me.

“I pray that our marriage be dissolved.”

The president of the court, Mrs S.M Akintayo, after she had heard the plaintiff adjourned the case until April 6 for further hearing.

He urged officers to maintain the current momentum, balancing enforcement with the agency’s War Against Drug Abuse (WADA) sensitisation activities.
The enforcement drive also led to the arrest of a notorious drug dealer in Oyo State Taofik Adeyemi, 49.

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.

Across other states, the NDLEA recorded significant seizures including over 140,000 pills and capsules of Tramadol intercepted in separate operations targeting transit routes from Damaturu to Hadejia.

A raid on Awolowo Market in Mushin area of Lagos state resulted in the recovery of 740kg of cannabis while in Kaduna, two suspects were caught on the Abuja-Jos highway with 290kg of compressed cannabis concealed in a Honda Ridgeline.

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.
