MY WIFE BEAT ME ALMOST EVERY DAY & WANT TO KILL ME ...A MAN TELLS THE COURT
A 55- year-old Nigerian and retired civil servant, Mr Emmanuel Osuya, has asked an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his 32-year-old marriage over alleged battering by his wife.
Osuya told the court today that his wife, Abigeal Osuya, 50, had turned him into a punching bag and also threatened his life.
"My wife wants to kill me; she beat me almost every day with dangerous weapons. On three occasions, she broke my leg, preventing me from going out for days," he said.
Osuya also accused his wife of turning his children against him, thereby making them to hate him.
"Abigeal succeeded in creating enmity between me and my children, she tells them false and damaging stories about me in order to hate me. So my children only care for her by sending her money and other items every month, without extending their love to me, they always ignore me as if I do not exist," Osuya said.
He further accused his wife of being a thief which rendered him financially broke as she constantly robbed him of his money.
He said: "I cannot keep money at home again because my wife will steal it. She acts as if she is not always satisfied with the money I give her in spite of the fact that my children always send her money every month."
Abigeal denied all the allegations. The mother of five said that she had never beaten her husband since the day she married him, and that it was her husband that always beat her.
"It was my husband that always beat me on any slight provocation, I have never beaten him," she said.
The respondent also said that she had never stolen her husband's money.
Abigeal said that she used to cook for her husband wherever he gave her money for food. She asked the court not to grant her husband's prayer.
"I am still in love with him," she said.
The Court President, Mr Hakeem Oyekan, adjourned the case until April 30 for further hearing.
