My Husband Beats Me As If We Are In Boxing Competition - Woman Tells Lagos Court - Family

A trader, Fatimo Nurudeen, on Friday pleaded with an
Agege Customary Court in Lagos State to dissolve her
12-year-old marriage for alleged frequent beating and
fetish practice by her husband.
Fatimo, 31, who lives at 32, Akiode St., Ibafo, Ogun,
told the court that her husband beats her frequently.
“I don’t think my husband is normal because he beats
me as if we are in a boxing competition.

“Also, he brought home a substance suspected to be
fetish in nature and put it in our room. I was afraid of
it, and my children and myself had to run for our dear
lives from our matrimonial home.

“My husband drinks to stupor and smokes Indian
hemp, after which he usually loses self control.
“I do not love him anymore, I want a dissolution of our
marriage ,” the mother of two children; ages seven
years and ten years said.

Fatimo also told the court that she had been the one
responsible for the upkeep of her children before and
after she had packed out of her husband’s house
three years’ ago.

“I want the custody of my children but I want him to be
responsible for their monthly upkeep,” she said.
The husband, Ayomide Yakubu, 35, a welder by
occupation, failed to appear in court.

The President, Mr Phillips Williams, told the woman to
maintain the peace and ordered the court registrar to
serve Yakubu another court summons.
Williams adjourned the case to June 1 for further
hearing.(NAN)
