A man who is
already frustrated with his wife over her thieving acts, has sought a way out
of his misery.
Livinus Uwa, a
divorce-seeking spouse has dragged his wife before a Lagos court on Thursday
where he exposed her as a thieving woman.
According to
him: “My wife is a thief, on severally occasions, she stole my money from my
wardrobe, rendering me broke.’’
Vanguard
reports that the forty-five-year-old Uwa, a businessman, had approached an
Igando Customary Court sitting at a Lagos suburb, to dissolve his four-year-old
marriage to the “resident thief’’.
“I married a
thief …the last time she burgled my room and stole N350, 000. I reported the
theft at the police station and she confessed to the theft, but the money was
not recovered,’’ he said.
Uwa said his
estranged wife, Chineye, had a daughter for him in the four-year-old marriage.
The petitioner accused his wife, who had failed to appear in court after
several summonses of abandoning him.
“Since we got
married, my wife has been always appearing and disappearing. When she was
pregnant, she left the house to an unknown place and came back after she was
delivered of the baby.
“She abandoned
our baby when she was 10 months old; I have to engage a baby sitter to take
care of her.
“When the baby
was two years old, I enrolled her in school and my wife reappeared,” he said.
Uwa also described his wife as a lazy and dirty woman.
He told the
court: “Chineye is lazy, she cannot cook, wash or sweep, I do the house chores.
“I have
reported all her attitudes and stealing habits to both families, they called
her but she refused to change.”
Uwa pleaded
with the court to dissolve the marriage, saying “I am no longer in love’’.
“Please,
dissolve this marriage, I can no longer condone her stealing habits.”
The court’s
President, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, adjourned the case to Sept. 20 for judgment.
