A Mapo Customary Court, Ibadan, on Monday dissolved the 21-year
marriage, between one Babatunde Olasupo and his wife, Shakirat,
over starvation of sex.
The president of the court, Ademola Odunade, dissolved the
marriage on grounds of irreconcilable differences.
“There is nothing more the court could do since Babatunde and
Shakirat have agreed to part ways.
“In the interest of peace and tranquility, the union between
Babatunde and Shakirat has ceased to be henceforth.
“Babatunde is granted custody of the first three children
produced by the union, while Shakirat shall take custody of the
last child because he is still a legal minor.
“In addition, Babatunde shall pay a monthly feeding allowance of
N5, 000 for the upkeep of the child in the custody of the
respondent,” he said.
Babatunde had earlier told the court that Shakirat was starving
him of sex.
He also alleged that the respondent was a troublemaker.
“My lord, Shakirat no longer responds to my sexual need as a
housewife and I can no more cope with it.
“Anytime, I make advances, she either rain abuses on me or run
away, thereby starving me.
“Aside from that, Shakirat does not co-operate with me to give
our four children quality home training.
“When ever I want to chastise or beat the children on any wrong
doing, Shakirat shouts at me not to touch the children.
“In fact, she is misleading our children against me.
“Not too long ago, Shakirat had knowledge of how our first child
who is 21 years old stole my ATM card and withdrew a huge sum of
money from my account.
“She is a very troublesome wife, she is in no way ready to allow
peace to prevail and I can no longer continue to stay under the
same roof with her,” Babatunde said.
The respondent, told the court that she also want divorce.
She, however, asked for the custody of the four children.
“If the separation will give him peace, he should go, but not
with my children.
“My lord, the problem I have is that anytime Babatunde had
sexual intercourse with me, I fall sick and that is why I no longer
allow him to sleep with me.
“It is true that our first child stole his ATM card to withdraw
money, but the boy has since changed for better.
“Babatunde doesn’t even cater for me as a man should do to his
wife; I only get feeling of him through telephone calls.
“He also doesn’t care about our last child who is a sickle cell
patient,” Shakirat said.
In his appeal to the court, the first child of the couple (name
withheld) pleaded with the court not to terminate the union between
his parents.
“My lord, I have apologised to my father for my misbehaviour for
stealing his ATM card, please, don’t separate them in the interest
of us, their children.
“I think that the problem between them had been since they got
married.
“In fact, I am writing exams, but I can’t stay in school just
because of this matter,” the son said.
