Ikorodu(Lagos
State) – A 73-year-old septuagenarian Femi Ojomo, on Wednesday pleaded with an
Ikorodu Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his 15-year-old
marriage to his
third wife to enable him marry another woman. Love-gone-sour Ojomo, a
businessman, who resides at Billy Way, Ojomo Avenue, Irawo, Ikorodu in Lagos,
also accused his wife of infidelity and being troublesome. He told the court
that he no longer loved his third wife and urged the court to dissolve the
union to enable him bring home another woman. “My wife is very troublesome and
volatile in nature. She bore a child for another man, although she left the man
and later moved in with me. “But now I don’t want her anymore, I want to marry
another wife,” he said. In her response, the 42-year-old wife, Shola, amidst
tears also told the court that her husband was irresponsible. “My husband has
not been responsible for my upkeep since I married him. I went to marry another
man just because he had refused to feed me and the only child I had for him.
“My husband usually brings and sleeps with another woman in our apartment. “I
am also not interested in this marriage anymore after all he had not been
responsible for my upkeep,” she said. However, President of the court, Mrs
Funmi Adeola, scolded Ojomo for bringing in and sleeping with another woman in
the apartment where his wife lives. She adjourned the case till Sept. 28, for
judgement. NAN
