It is very unfortunate that people hardly go into marriage these days with only God on their agenda. They do all sorts and employ all kinds of diabolic means to control you, make you abandon your parents, etc.
Here is one of such crazy story. A middle-aged woman, Sophia Arapogun, has prayed an Agege customary court to dissolve her 11yrs marriage because her husband, Patrick, abandoned her for two years.
Mrs. Arapogun, who lived with her husband and his six children from his previous marriage, said he never asked her how she fed.
“My husband buys foodstuffs for his children and asks them to keep them in their room. He never asked what I needed at a particular moment and we lived together.”
The petitioner said her husband came home at a time to sprinkle something that looked like blood all over the house, adding that she worked as a clerical officer in her husband’s hospital.
She said: “I used to package melon to sell in neighbouring markets but since my husband didn’t like the idea, he employed me in his hospital. There was a day I took N300 to take passport photograph, he shouted at me in the presence of his children and I felt humiliated. I was more shocked when he made sure I refunded the money.”
The husband reacts
Patrick said he married her because he heard a pathetic story about her, adding: “I asked if she had any evil spirit or medical problems which didn’t make her conceive during her two previous marriages but she said no; then I married her.”
The respondent, a doctor, said after their marriage, he discovered that three minutes after making love to her, he got a knock on his head. “Not only did I get a knock, whenever I had the intention of sleeping with her, I would discover rashes on my manhood or my manhood would be twisted. At times, I would not get erection or my sperm ceases. Since then, I became afraid of everything,” Arapogun said.
He said his hospital crumbled after his wife began to work with him, adding that she also stole money.
“When we lived together, there were times my wife left the bedroom and returned in the morning without any explanation. Our union is bad omen. I have suffered from swollen legs, slight stroke and it was when I realised my wife defecates in the bucket I used to bathe that I decided to leave with my children because I was not ready to die young and I don’t know what was going to happen next,” he said.
President of the court, Pa Adekunle Williams, ordered the wife to maintain the peace and adjourned the matter till July 13 for judgement.
