love to her, a retired civil servant, Mr. Chibuzo Obiedefu, told an
Igando Customary Court, Lagos, yesterday.
Obiedefu, 50, told the court that his wife, Philomena, whom he married
seven years ago, was denying him of sex.
He said: "My wife is always starving me of sex and if she will allow
me, she will ask me to pay for it. And if I refused to give her money
and demand to sleep with her by force, she would hit me with any
dangerous weapon she could lay her hands on."
The petitioner accused his wife of infidelity, alleging that she was
dating a policeman.
"Philomena is cheating on me; she is having an affair with a policeman
and whenever I caution her, she will flare up," Obiedefu said.
The petitioner said his wife had created enmity between him and his children.
He said: "My wife is telling my children not to come close to me
because I am a bad man. My children now distance themselves from me
and I am now like a stranger to them."
He pleaded with the court to dissolve his seven-year-old marriage
because he was tired of the relationship and he was no longer in love.
Responding, the 40-year-old businesswoman denied all the allegations.
"My husband has sex with me anytime he feels like and I only demanded
for feeding money from him," Philomena said.
The respondent claimed that she was not dating the policeman.
"The policeman is only a friend; no strings attached," the mother of four said.
She urged the court not to grant her husband's plea because she was
still in love.
The President, Mr. Rufus Adeyeri, adjourned the case till January 21
for judgment.
