Court refuses to dissolve 25-year-old romantic union

An area court sitting in Centre-Igboro, Ilọrin, Kwara State, has refused to grant a romantic union dissolution request by one James Daniel.

Daniel had approached the court seeking the dissolution of his 25-year-old relationship with his lover, Tosin Akinrinade, accusing her of stubbornness.

He told the court that he had a misunderstanding with her which made her destroy some of his belongings and sell others without his consent.

Daniel, a father of two, pleaded with the court to separate the union to allow him to live a peaceful life.
