A middle-aged man, Dare Falana, yesterday, told an Igando Customary Court that he caught his wife, Ganiyat, eating with her boyfriend in his living room.

Dare had urged the court to dissolve his marriage, blessed with three children, because of his wife’s infidelity, sex starvation and frequent fighting.

He said: “Usually, I come home late at night. But on this fateful day, I decided to come home early, only for me to meet her with her boyfriend eating in our home.

“

I was too shocked to say anything; I left them there and went out. By the time I came back, the man had left.

“There was a time I went to Abuja. Before I came back, she got into a fight and was arrested. I spent the N40,000 I brought from Abuja on that case.

“My wife also starves me of sex. I have to beg my wife for sex as if she is still my girlfriend. She plays all sorts of unimaginable pranks to escape having sex with me.

“She only comes to me for sex when she feels like it. When I complained to her sister, she told her that she has a disease, which was why she stopped having sex with me.

“I am fed up; I cannot continue this way.”

He married me a virgin—WIFE

His wife, Ganiyat, denied the allegation of infidelity, but admitted that she usually starved her husband of sex.

She said: “He married me a virgin. How can I be so bold and bring my supposed boyfriend to my husband’s house? The supposed boyfriend is my distant relative.

“I called my distant cousin and told him I was hungry and that my children do not have food to eat when they return from school.

“I specifically told him to get food for me and my children from an eatery. My husband’s ways are questionable. He acts and talks desperately about making money at all cost. He keeps comparing me to his friend’s wife.

“My husband told me that his friend’s wife is an ogbanje and uses that to bring good luck to her husband; that I should be doing same for him, which I refused. He beats me, but I still love my husband.”

The court President, Adegboyega Omilola, ordered the couple to attend an Alternative Dispute Resolution, ADR, on March 17 and adjourned the case till March 29 for hearing.
