My husband chases anything in skirt – Wife tells court

Mrs Oluwatoyin Falade has requested that her 11-year marriage be annulled by an Orile Agege Customary Court.

The 44-year-old woman filed the petition on Wednesday, citing her husband, Segun’s, adultery.

The petitioner, who resides on Tunde Davids Close in Agege, Lagos, has two children, ages eight and eleven, for Segun.

“My husband is a flirt, he runs after anything in a skirt. I had two girls before I married him, ages 15 and 18.

“They stay with me and I don’t trust my husband because he chases everything in a skirt,” NAN quoted.

Oluwatoyin added that her spouse “changes women anyhow” and does not respect her.

The petitioner narrated how residents mock her in the neighbourhood because of the situation.

Responding, Segun, a judiciary worker in Lagos State, admitted to infidelity and taking “different women” to the house.

“My Lord, you can see my wife is fresh. She’s not suffering. I bought her a phone recently, I pay the children’s school fees,” he said.

The 46-year-old citizen begged the court not to grant the dissolution, assuring he will make things right if given another chance.

After listening to both parties, the Court President, Adewale Adegoke told them to be peaceful throughout the case.

The matter was adjourned until May 30 for an alternative dispute resolution mechanism (ADR).
