An Area Court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State, has dissolved the marriage between a couple, Rashida Bashir and her husband, Bashir Adegboye, over the latter’s womanising attitude.
The presiding judge, Hammed Ajumonbi, in his ruling, said that the letter sent by the husband revealed that he agreed to divorce.
Ajumonbi, therefore, dissolved their marriage and ordered the petitioner to observe three months iddah period in accordance with Islamic rites.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the court granted custody of the two children from their marriage to the wife and ordered the husband to pay N20,000 monthly for the maintenance and feeding of their children.
The husband was also granted unrestricted access to the children whenever he wished, but at reasonable time.
Earlier, the petitioner had told the court that her husband was a womaniser and that he did not have any respect for her while dating other women.
Rashida said that she did not want to get infected with any disease from her husband, considering the rate at which he slept with other women
“He told me that he had two wives before I got married to him, but the most senior wife later told me that nine women had children for him,” she said.
“These women call me all the time to abuse and curse me. “I am tired of our relationship.”
