A woman identified as Justine Ojo, has dragged her husband, Eneku before a Customary Court on Monday, November 14 in Jikwoyi Abuja, seeking a dissolution of their marriage.
The banker decided to end the union after accusing her husband of squandering the house rent she saved up.
Justine, who resides in Nyanya, Abuja, said she and her husband had been living in her husband’s brother’s house since they got married.
She undertook to save up money after squatting for some, so they could rent their own apartment for at least 1 year. She then handed the savings to her husband.
However, 6 months after they moved into their house, the landlord gave them quit notice and she soon discovered her husband only paid 6 months’ rent.
She disclosed that when when she confronted her husband, he beat her up and would have killed her if she had not scaled the fence at night to escape.
She added that she has been the only one providing since they got married as her husband has no job.
The distraught woman prayed the court to dissolve the marriage and grant her custody of their child.
The respondent, Eneku denied the allegation.
The judge, Malam Labaran Gusau, adjourned the matter until November 16, for a hearing
