middle-aged timber contractor, Ojo
Owoeye, who is a defendant in a divorce
suit filed by his wife, Mrs. Bola Owoeye,
at the Akoko Customary Court in Ondo
State, says he caught his wife having sex
with his brother.

Bola had approached the court to
dissolve her 16-year-old marriage with
Ojo for lack of care for her and her three
children.

However, Ojo, who agreed to the
dissolution, said he intentionally
abandoned his wife because she was
fond of sleeping around with different
men, including his younger brother.
The defendant said he reported his wife
and his younger brother to his mother-
in-law, but the latter pacified him. He
added that his younger brother also
denied having extra marital affair with
Bola.

“My lord, there was a time that I came
home from a journey at about 9pm and
met my wife naked with only her
wrapper around her chest, sitting on my
younger brother’s lap,” Ojo said
He also told the court that at a point he
had to destroy his wife’s mobile phone
when he discovered she often received
calls from other men.

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. The second child, a
nine-year-old female, was given to the
father.

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