Court dissolves marriage for lack of love

The four-year-old marriage between Mr Femi Olayinka and his wife, Ajoke, had been dissolved by an Ikorodu Customary Court in Lagos, for lack of love and interest.

The couple, in their second appearance, had told the court that they were no longer interested in the marriage which did not produce any offspring.

Ajoke, 32, businesswoman, had earlier filed a divorce suit on Dec.12 on the grounds that her husband was irresponsible.

“My husband is not a responsible man and does not care about having his own children,“ she told the court.

Olayinka, 30, an okada rider, had accused his wife of infidelity, adding, “I had seen her coming out of a hotel with another man sometime ago. “

“I am no more interested, please grant her wishes,“ he told the court.

While dissolving the marriage, the Court President, Alhaji Nojeem Isiaka, said all efforts to reconcile them proved abortive and told them to go their separate ways and remain at peace forever. (NAN)
