Suraj Oyewale, a Nigerian online influencer, who is known as #SirJarus on X, has made accusations against his wife.
He accused his wife, Mrs. Oyewale Ayoola, of consulting an herbalist, Mayowa Adesoga, after he expressed his intention to marry a second wife in accordance with Islamic rights.
Suraj claimed he began investigating her after he discovered a voice note confirming his wife’s consultation with the herbalist.
“I pleaded and begged, but she frustrated me into overreacting a couple of times, which led to beating. I’ve been trying to improve my behaviour towards her over the past 3 months to make her happy.
“Allah sees my heart on everything I did for her.”
“These are things your sister did not tell you. Nobody victimised her. She victimised herself.
“I tolerated everything until her fetishness was exposed to me earlier this week.
“Allah knows I was a good husband to her,” he added.
“I did everything possible to placate her when I decided to exercise my Islamic right to marry a second wife.
“I knew it was natural for a woman to feel jealous when a man wants to marry a new wife. I recognised that and begged her.”
Suraj explained that he had tried to appease Ayoola with various gifts, including: “A N5million gift was given to her in April to support her business, a few days after I broke the news of my incoming new wife to her.
“I gave her a N700,000 gift for jewelry. I gave her N1.2million to buy land in her hometown of Ilorin, with a promise to build a house for her within 2-3 years.
“I gave her a N500,000 gift last Tuesday to make her even happier. However, just a few hours later, she still went to a Cele herbalist.
“I intercepted her voice note, which I began monitoring after witnessing an incident that made me suspicious of her. She sent my information to the herbalist. She had already paid him.
“That was the deal breaker for me. I sent her out and searched her room, only to find fetish items. It was a shock of my life. That was the point I took decisive action.”
He continued, “I tried my best for your sister. She has two SUVs for her movement in Lagos.
“I pleaded and begged, but she frustrated me into overreacting a couple of times, which led to beating. I’ve been trying to improve my behaviour towards her over the past 3 months to make her happy
