“I am tired of warning Abas to stop consuming alcohol which he inherited from his father. I have high Blood Pressure because of the stress I went through with him.

”Worst still, Abas feeds our two children with alcohol beverage or beer, children of four years and below,”

“I told Abas that I was AS, he told me that he was AA. But I later found out that he is AS like m,” she alleged.

When Aba was ask to give his narration, he denied most of the allegations levelled against him, describing his wife as “a thief and an exploiter”.

“It is true that I sometimes beat Mufuliat and it is due to the fact that she keeps disobeying my orders.

“Mufuliat and her family have milked me dry and I am in huge debt because of trying to satisfy them.

“In fact, she lied to me that she was pregnant with our third baby. She knows that I usually give her huge monetary gifts anytime she gets pregnant.

“I have done everything for her but she keeps saying bad things about me,” Abas explained.

Upon proper investigation on the case, the President of the court, Chief Ademola Odunade, who led two other Arbitrators; Alhaji Suleiman Apanpa and Alhaji Rafiu Raji, dissolved the union.

Odunade added that the custody of the two children be awarded to the petitioner and the defendant is to pay N5,000 to each of the two children for their upkeep in addition to being responsible for their education and welfare.
