A Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan on Monday, dissolved a 17-year-old marriage between a teacher, Ismaila Adams and his wife, Ebun, over threat to life.

Adams, who lives in Beyerunka area of Ibadan, in his divorce petition, accused his wife of being troublesome and had made attempts on his life.

“Ebun stabbed me with a knife. I abandoned the house for her for eight months in order not to  be killed by her.

“Ebun is a mischievous woman who has not given me peace or my space.

“She picks up knives and broken bottles at any slightest provocation,” Adams said.

Ebun, who is a trader, told the court that her husband was a drunk.

“Adams curses and beats,” Ebun said. (NAN)
