A woman, Sukura, frustrated by her husband, Quadri’s irresponsible behaviour, has brought a divorce suit against him at Grade A Customary Court, sitting at Mapo, Ibadan Oyo State.

Sukura, in her suit, alleged that Quadri failed to take care of her and their children, adding that he was fond of beating and assaulting her.

The plaintiff explained that the defendant was a womaniser and constantly lavished his money on women, while he starved her and their children.

The plaintiff again said that the defendant was indifferent to their children’s education and never paid their children’s school fees.

Sukara told the court that peace had deserted her because Quadri always threatened to deal with her any time she brought his attention to his shortcomings.

Sukara, in addition to divorce, pleaded for their children’s custody.

She begged the court to make her husband responsible for their welfare.

She further requested an order restricting her husband from harassing, threatening, and interfering with her private life.

Quadri denied all the allegations Sukara brought against him, but acceded to divorce.

He stated that he and his wife always fought because of the strain they were experiencing in their finances.

He added that she had no regard for him.

Quadri stated that he and his wife were Muslims, but that his wife later started going to church without his permission.

Quadri admitted to beating his wife black and blue anytime they fought because she was fond of pulling his manhood, which he said was painful.

Sukura said: “My husband and I held an introduction ceremony after we courted for some months, and he paid my bride price.

“My life has been miserable since I got married to my husband.

“My husband is a womaniser. He neglects his duties in the home and runs after everything in the skirt.

“He lavishes money on strange women, while our children and I languish and suffer. I bear the brunt of our children’s welfare.

“He is indifferent to our children’s education and always dodges the responsibility of paying their school fees.

“He is not bothered if our children had enough to eat or looked healthy.

“He feels good having his lovers flocking around him.

“He beats me any time I draw his attention to his worthless lifestyle.

“He, in addition, took to threatening me and swearing to make a waste of my life.

“My lord, I am tired of my relationship with my husband, and I no longer want to go further in it.

“I entreat this honourable court to end our relationship and grant me custody of our three children.

“I also plead that the court mandates my husband to be in charge of our children’s welfare, giving feeding, education and health care, a priority.

“I further request an order restricting him from threatening me and interfering with my private life.”

Quadri, in his testimony, said: “I agree to divorce. My wife is rebellious.

“She still misbehaves despite paying her bride price.

“We are Muslims, but she suddenly stopped carrying out the Islamic rites and started attending church services, which is one of the reasons we fight.

“Our marriage has been experiencing issues because of a strain in our finances for some years now, and anytime I admonish her to persevere, she fights me.

“My wife always targets my manhood any time we fight.

“She will grab and pull it, thus leaving me to yell n pain.

“I always go mad anytime she does this, and will beat her black and blue as a result.”

The president of the court, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, after she had heard both parties, stated that it was obvious that they had a valid customary marriage and the bride price was paid.

She further stated that since both parties had declared their wishes to put an end to their relationship, the court had no other option than to do so.

Ruling, Akintayo declared their union dissolved.

She put their three children in the plaintiff’s custody and mandated the defendant to be responsible for their upkeep.

She further released an order restraining the defendant from threatening and interfering with the plaintiff’s private life.

The Nigeria Police Force has arrested a chef, John Cosmos Govi, over his alleged involvement in a burglary operation at a residence in Abuja, where luxury items and valuables worth about N150 million were reportedly stolen.

The arrest was announced on Monday, May 25, 2026, by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Anthony Placid, who said the suspect was apprehended by operatives of the Force Intelligence Department Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT) after investigations into allegations of criminal conspiracy, housebreaking, theft, malicious damage and administering harmful substances.
