My Husband Defecates in Our Cooking Pot - Wife Tells Court

An aggrieved housewife has filed for divorce after her husband would not stop defecating in the family’s cooking pots.

Oluwakemi Ogundele told the Igando Customary Court in Lagos that her husband, Oluwafemi, was a violent drunkard and often beats her. Worse, Ogundele said, when­ever her 37-year-old husband got drunk, he would defecate in their cooking pots and on their plates.

Ogundele asked the court to dissolve the marriage because Oluwafemi no longer provided for her or her children, and that she does not love him. Her husband denied the charges but agreed that there was no love lost between them. It was unclear how long the couple had been married.

The court adjourned the matter and warned the couple to maintain peace.
