Man Caught Wife With His Plumber, Cries Out For Help
An Ibadan- based businessman, Kehinde Balogun has told a a court that he wanted to put end his 14-year-old marriage with his estranged wife, Stella, on grounds of adultery.
“My lord, I became completely frustrated when I found out that Stella was having extra-marital affairs with my plumber and I made her realise this,” Balogun, a father of three told a Grade A Customary Court in Mapo, Ibadan on Friday.
He said if he had known that Stella would bring him such future embarrassment, he would not have exchanged marital vows with her.
He said his wife decided to move out of my house, packing my belongings with her and abandoning our three children,” Balogun said.
During a cross examination, the petitioner said that his wife did not catch him on their matrimonial bed with any woman.
He also denied sending her photographs to anybody.
However, Stella denied any wrong doing, stating that one of her friends had told lies against her.
“That friend of mine had told Balogun that I’ve been sleeping around and he consequently began to react to me negatively.
“He turned me into a punching bag and stopped sleeping in the house.
“Later on, Balogun started sending my photographs to his woman-friend.
“My lord, he has remarried with my three children in his care and they are not properly catered for,” Stella told the court.
Delivering judgment, the court’s President, Mrs S.M. Akintayo, pronounced the marriage dissolved on the ground that both Balogun and Stella were no longer wiling to continue with the union.
Akintayo granted the order restraining Stella from harassing, disturbing, threatening and interfering with Balogun’s private life henceforth.
