A 44-year-old man, Mr. Sheriff Ahmed, on Monday, in Lagos, secured a divorce from his wife who he accused of having an extra marital affair with a policeman.
Mr. Sheriff had petitioned an Igando customary court, seeking dissolution of his marriage to Rashidat (33) over promiscuity.
He earlier told the court that, “My wife is promiscuous; she is having affair with a policeman. I checked her phone and saw love chats and other immoral talks with the policeman on WhatsApp. We fought over it and I wanted to send her packing but due to intervention from friends and relatives, I forgave her.”
Responding, Rashidat consented to the dissolution of the marriage, telling the court that she was tired of battering by Sheriff.
After listening to both parties, the judge dissolved the marriage.
