The Imam accused his wife of “troublesomeness”.
Jamiu Bello, an Imam of the Jamaitul Islam of Nigeria, Ikorodu, Lagos, on Monday prayed a customary court to dissolve his six-year-old marriage to Busola, his third wife.
Mr. Bello, 60, who lives at No. 62, Lagos road, Ikorodu, told the court that he was fed up with his marriage to 25-year-old Busola who, he alleged, was troublesome.
He told the court that Busola embarrassed him in public many times with her “troublesomeness”.
“I want this court to separate us because I am not enjoying the marriage anymore; she fights everyone in the neighbourhood and I suspect her of infidelity,” he said.
Busola, a trader, who did not consent to the dissolution of the marriage, told the court that she had never disrespected her husband in public.
“I have not offended him in anyway. He has never seen me with any other man.
“Even though he has not been able to provide for my upkeep, I still love him,” Busola, a mother of one told the court.
She added that Mr. Bello had stopped giving her feeding allowance.
The president of the court, Raheem Daudu, adjourned the case to September 9 for possible reconciliation.
