”She was once arrested by the Police in Oyo with her lover, popularly known as Jomo.
Bidemi, a businesswoman accused her husband of being irresponsible.
“Bamigbola has not catered for the two children and I.
“When our landlord attempted to evict us for non payment of house rent, I obtained a loan to settle the debt.
“Worst still, Bamigbola is a reckless drunk and a womaniser.
“He brings women to our matrimonial bed and vomits in the room whenever he is hung over,” Bidemi said.
