Hmmm!!! My wife demands N500 before sex, man tells court

Mr Sunday Olaosebikan on Wednesday approached an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to end his seven - year - old marriage to his wife, Mutiatu, for allegedly demanding for money before sex.

He told the court , "My wife always refuses me sex until she collects N 500 .
"This, I am sure , is why she has not conceived after the birth of our only child, who is six - year old now .

"I am tired of paying N 500 per round before having sex with my wife, please dissolve the union.
He further told the court said that Mutiatu always threatens to kill him .

He said, "My wife is after my life , she stabs me with dangerous weapons whenever we have misunderstanding .

"She once stabbed me with a broken bottle on my head and I bled heavily which landed me in the hospital .

"Mutiatu used our kitchen knife as pillow, when I queried her ; she said her pastor instructed her to use it against bad dreams .
"Many a times when I request for sex or during argument, she brings the knife out threatening to stab me .

"She is just aggressive and violent in nature; she may kill me if I continue with the marriage.

"Because of her violent nature , I ran away from the house to avoid untimely death . "

He said that his family ejected his wife from his house for fear of unknown but that she came back begging , adding that he pitied her and accepted her back.

He said, "I accepted my wife back because I thought she had learnt her lesson , but she refused to change , instead she is getting worse day by day. "

The petitioner also said that his wife failed to respect him.

"My wife does not obey my orders; she always tells me that I cannot control her because we are age mate . "

He said that because of his wife's bad behaviour , she could not get a steady job .

"Employers always sack her when she exhibited her character . ''

Olaorebikan begged the court to terminate the marriage.
The respondent was not in the court for her defence .

The President of the court , Mr Adegboyega Omilola , therefore, ordered bailiff to serve her another summon to appear in court and adjourned the case to Feb . 28 for further hearing .
