A 65-year-old cleric is seeking divorce from his wife, after 31 years of marriage due to marital problems.
Olowolade David Laizer, 65 who is a cleric in Lagos has prayed a customary court in Ikorodu to dissolve the 31-years old marriage between him and his fourth wife named Esther Anuoluwapo Laizer due to marital problems.
The cleric who has a number of 6 wives has accused his Esther of being in the habit of raining curses on his church at the event of any disagreement.
According to the man of God, Esther has also denied him of having sex for over a year.
Laizer gave his church’s address as 8/4 Laizer Estate, Graceland, Bayeku, Ikorodu and said the couple’s problems started when they lost their first son in 2013.
He said, "There was a parental dispute between her family and mine when we wanted to get married, so, we had to do two separate introductions.
“She even said I would die within three years if I divorce her,”
The wife, a teacher, had a different story with very shocking details.
“He preaches about me in church, saying all sorts of things. He talks about what happens with me in his sermons.
"Yes, I’ve denied him of sex for over a year now, but it’s because he said my private part is smelling, after 31 years of marriage and five children.
"Four days after I lost my son, his sixth wife came into my room and took my pant and bra. I don’t know what she used it for, but she returned it later.
“She also cooked for me and put six pieces of meat in the soup. I refused to eat it because I don’t know what that meant or who sent her,”
The court’s president, Olu Adebiyi, encouraged both parties to keep the peace and told them to come with their family members on September 14 for possible reconciliation.
