A man who had obviously gotten fed up with his wife after she denied him s*x, has turned into a monster.
The man identified as Ojo Adewole, has been dragged to court over r*pe.
Adewole, a middle-aged father was on Wednesday dragged before an
Ikole Customary Court in Ekiti where he claimed that he was involved in
r*pe because his wife starved him of s*x.
According to Vanguard, Adewole, who made this known when he
testified in a divorce petition by his wife, Omotayo,35, admitted being
involved in a r*pe case but blamed it on the wife.
“Your honour, my wife had always starved me of s*x. Instead of
taking care of me and the house, she went about partying and making
friends. My wife is simply wayward and the family had always supported her deeds.
“Your honour, I may not have the moral justification to ask for
the preservation of the marriage, but I am praying the court to reduce
my monthly financial obligation to my children to N5,000,’’ he begged.
Adewole said: “my prayer for the slashing of the upkeep money
hinges on the fact that I have just been released from detention and I
do not have any tangible source of livelihood at the moment.’’
Omotayo had told the court that Adewole had been “s*xually unruly’’, adding that he had gambled out their collective property and money.
“Your honour, my husband is so addicted to gambling to the
extent of using my three cell phones, cooking stove and other house
utensils to gamble. “His habitual drunkenness made him to beat me so
often.
“He is not also responsible for the upkeep of our five children
as he evades paying their school fees. Your honour, I am tired of the
marriage and I want it dissolved forthwith,’’ she said.
She further said: “the father of my children does not have
respect for her family members even though all of us stood by him when
he was involved in a rape case.’’
The mother of five had sought for the custody of all the children
and prayed the court to compel the respondent to assign some amount
monthly for their upkeep.
In her Judgment, the President of the court, Mrs Yemisi Ojo,
dissolve the 15-years-old marriage between Omotayo and Adewole for
promiscuity and gambling lifestyle.
Ojo held that the petitioner’s request had merit and “in the
light of the evidence before the court it is clear that the respondent’s
lifestyle had put off the feelings the petitioner initially had for
him.
“It is appropriate in the circumstance for parties to be allowed to go their separate ways.
“I, therefore, order that the custody of the children from the union would remain with the petitioner,’’ the president held.
Ojo said: “the respondent is ordered to give his ex-wife the sum of N10, 000 monthly for the upkeep of the children on monthly basis.’’
