A pastor has taken drastic measures against his wife who has obviously given him tough times in the p.
A Customary Court has dissolved the 13-year-old marriage between an Ado Ekiti-based pastor, Tope Fajuyagbe and his wife, Abosede, on Friday her alleged refusal to join him in his ministration.
Mr. Joseph Ogunsemi, the Court President, while delivering his judgment held that the marriage has broken down irretrievably between the couple.
Fajuyagbe who dragged his wife to court accused her of frequent fighting, refusal to join his ministration, not giving him rest of mind as well as lack of respect for his family.
The 54-year-old pastor who is popular in Olorunda Zone, Ado-Ekiti, told the court that, they always fight because she did not allow his children from his first wife to live with him.
He said that, she refused to join him in his ministerial work and did not allow him to formalise the marriage, hence deserted her in December 2015.
The plaintiff described the defendant as a serial troublemaker who never gave him and her step children breathing space.
He therefore prayed the court to dissolve the marriage since they have no issue.
But the respondent, Bosede, 48, a resident of Olorunda central zone, Ado-Ekiti, said that, they built a three bedroom flat and they moved into the house.
She said when they moved to their house, they bought a car for N300,000, he paid N100,000 and she paid N200,000.
She said she left the house for him after she has built another house.
Bosede said that, she was the one taking care of him in terms of feeding and medical care, saying she gave his first son N10,000 when he came to their house.
The defendant said that, the pastor wanted to divorce her because she could not bear him a child.
She therefore urged the court to order that the car should be sold and they should share the money.
Court president Ogunsemi observed that, the marriage had broken down irretrievably and consequently dissolved the marriage.
Ogunsemi ruled that, the car should be sold and two quarter of the money should be given to the wife, while one quarter should be given to the husband.
