Mary, a housewife, told the court that her husband habitually stole her money.
Testifying in a divorce proceedings against Kazeem, Mary said her 15-year-old union was characterised by acts of irresponsibility from him.
“I shouldered the responsibility as regards feeding, school fees payment and welfare of the kids, instead of him to appreciate my struggle for the care, he was in the habit of stealing my money.
“He beat me as he likes and packed out of our home to impregnate another woman.
“Your Honour, I am tired of his shameful acts, victimisation and embarrassment,” she said.
Kazeem denied the allegations and pleaded with the court not to grant his wife’s request.
He said he had nobody to assist in catering for the three children, if the divorce suit was granted.
The court’s president, Mukaila Balogun, granted the divorce, holding that there was no love between the couple.
Balogun awarded custody of the three children to Mary and directed the respondent to be pay N9,000 monthly for their maintenance.
