A 48-year-old wife, Abosede Balogun by name, on Thursday, pleaded with a Lagos Customary Court to dissolve her 25-year-marriage, calling her husband a ritualist.
“My husband performs rituals even at night; he once brought a ram into the house to slaughter at midnight. I don’t feel safe living with him, anymore” Abosede told an Orile Agege Customary Court.
Abosede, a trader, who resides at 29, Old Ipaja Road, Agege, a suburb of Lagos, was responding to a divorce suit filed by her husband, Idris Balogun.
She said her husband’s behaviour changed not too long, after their marriage and since then, he has been looking for ways to fight her on the slightest provocation.
“I once caught my husband at midnight covering one of our children, who is physically challenged with a white cloth.
“I threw the cloth away and burnt it and he fought me because of that.
“There was a day that my husband and his brother brought a ram in to the house, they waited until midnight before they slaughtered it, I was watching through the window although.
