Why I ‘tied’ my husband spiritually – Wife

A customary court sitting in Mapo, Ibadan, on Thursday, dissolved a 15-year marriage between a mother of two, Olubunmi Faseyitan, and her husband, Kolawole, over ”witchcraft” suspicion.

President of the court, Chief Ademola Odunade, dissolved the marriage after Faseyitan admitted that she asked a witch doctor to ”tie her husband spiritually to milk him dry.”

The arbitrator ordered Kolawole to pay N6, 000 monthly for the children’s upkeep.

SPONSOR AD

Earlier, Faseyitan said: “I never wished death on my husband.

“All I wanted was to keep him in bondage and make him sick until he serves his purpose.

”I only told the witch doctor so that people would be convinced that his second wife was responsible for the calamity that befell him.”

Earlier, Kolawole, a factory worker, prayed for the dissolution of his 15-year-old marriage on grounds that his wife was into black magic.

”I did everything possible to please her, but it was not enough. I abandoned the home for her. She confessed to me,” he said.

He tendered the recorded conversation between his wife and the alleged witch doctor as an exhibit before the court.
