My Husband Sleeps With Anything On Skirt

AN IDEMILI customary court presided over by Magistrate A.C. Peters at Oba in Idemili South
Local Government Area, Anambra state was yesterday, thrown into pin-drop silence as a middle aged woman alleged adultery against her husband.

  Narrating her predicament as a witness giving evidence in support of a petition for dissolution of her three-year old marriage with Mr Elijah Amaku, Mrs Chioma Amaku told the court that her husband is a “habitual adulterer.”

  According to her, Elijah sleeps with several women under the pretence of conducting spiritual deliverances on them. She further said that she got fed up with their marriage when Elijah began to bring these women, including under-aged girls into their matrimonial bed.

  Mrs Amaku also told the court that even her two-year old boy could not sway Elijah to stop committing adultery on their matrimonial bed.

  She testified that all her personal efforts to make Elija have a change of mind proved abortive.

  Giving his own evidence during cross-examination of his wife, Mr Elijah denied the allegation of adultery.

  According to him, he has no quarrel with Chioma for which their customary marriage should be dissolved. Pastor Elijah told the court that his mother-in-law, an unidentified woman from Ojoto, is the source of any problem between him and Chioma.

  In answer to a question from his lawyer over what he meant by Chioma's mother being the source of their problem, Elijah told the court that his mother-in-law is pushing her daughter into another marriage.

  He added that the trouble with Chioma's mother began over who should name their child. He further urged the court to grant him the custody of the only child of their marriage.
