One Mrs Ojoma Noel has dragged her husband, Thomas Noel, before a customary court in Nyanya, Abuja, for allegedly denying her of matrimonial rights and domestic violence.
Mrs Noel, a businesswoman, who asked the court to end her marriage, said her husband no longer cared about her and their only child.
She told the court that, “My husband has practically denied me of my conjugal rights; he doesn’t care to know how I feel or what my needs are in that aspect.
“I have suffered repeated physical abuse and violence from Thomas, including blows, slaps, locked out of the house and so on.”
She also prayed the court to grant her the custody of their only child and compel her husband to pay N50,000 for his upkeep every month.
The husband denied all the allegations and urged the court to resolve the matter.
The Judge, Doocivir Yawe, adjourned to February 16.
