Chief Ademola Odunade, the President of a Mapo Customary Court
in Ibadan, on Friday dissolved a three-year-old marriage between a
businessman, Sherif Adesola and wife, Damilola, over alleged
poisoning and adultery.
Odunade held that the relationship between Sherif and Damilola
had been irreparably damaged.
He awarded custody of the two-year-old child to Damilola and
ordered Sherif to pay a monthly allowance of N5,000 for the child’s
upkeep.
Earlier, Sherif prayed the court for a divorce.
”I want the divorce because I escaped death when Damilola
poisoned my food.
”I caught her red-handed putting the poison in the food she
wanted to serve me. When I reported the incident to her parents,
nothing was done about it.
”Damilola also embarrasses and insults me in public. She also
fights me and tears my clothes.
”I don’t want Damilola to kill me, please separate us,” Sherif
begged.
The respondent who consented to the divorce denied some of the
allegations.
Damilola, who is a hairdresser, accused Sherif of being a
womaniser.
She alleged that he had an affair with a friend of hers and
impregnated her. (NAN)
