Man Seeks To Dissolve a 16-Year Old Marriage After His Brother Slept With His Wife

 

A young man named Ojo Owoeye, a timber contractor has prayed the court to dissolve his 16-year old marriage after he nabbed his wife having sex with his younger brother.

 

Owoeye was initially charged to the Akoko Customary Court in Ondo State, by his wife Bola Owoeye, for not giving adequate care to her and their three children, but events went south when he revealed the extra-marital affair his wife had with his younger brother.

He admitted to the charge of not caring for his family which he attributed to an intentional act to pay his wife back for sleeping with various men which included his younger brother.

He said: “My lord, my wife is adulterous and sleeps around with different men, including my own brother. There was a time that I came home from a journey at about 9 pm and met my wife naked with only her wrapper around her chest, sitting on my younger brother’s lap.”

The President of the Court, Chief Maku Awe, ruled that the two were free to go their separate ways and remarry, granting the custody of the first and last children, who were 16 and four years old, to the mother while the second child, a nine-year-old female, was given to the father.

The court also ordered Ojo to pay the sums of N3,000 and N2,000 as monthly feeding allowances of the children in the custody of his ex-wife.
