A
42-year-old woman, Mrs. Doris Oseni, has told a Customary Court in Ondo town,
Ondo State, that she caught her husband of 12 years, Prophet Femi Oseni, on the
floor of the church office, having
sex with another woman.
The
woman, who is also an evangelist in the church, therefore asked the court for
the dissolution of their marriage on the grounds of adultery, desertion and
lack of love on the part of the husband.
The
plaintiff said her husband’s behaviour towards her changed after seven years of
their marriage with no child, adding that the defendant had been sleeping
around with different women, most of whom were their church members.
She
said, “Recently, after several days of abandoning me, I traced my husband to
his church in a village not far from Ondo town. On getting there, I met him on
the floor of the church office with one of the women in the church. They were
having sex.”
She
said she reported her husband’s strange behaviour to his mother, adding that it
did not stop him from the adulterous acts.
She
stated that she was fed up with the relationship, praying the court to separate
them.
Doris
also accused the husband of having a child, who she said was a product of his
extra-marital affairs.
However,
the 45-year-old Oseni pleaded with the court not to dissolve the marriage with
his wife, saying he still loved the woman, whom he described as a virtuous
woman that had been taking care of him since he married her.
In
his ruling, the President of the court, Joshua Adunbi, said the words and body
language of the wife had shown that she was tired of the union. He therefore
ordered the dissolution of the marriage.
Adunbi
added that both parties were free to re-marry any person of their choice and
ordered the petitioner to pay the sum of N2,500 to the respondent as a refund
of dowry.
