•Her behaviour changed the moment I lost my job —Husband
Mrs Cecilia Ajayi, 42, has pleaded with an Igando customary court in Lagos State to dissolve her 20-year-marriage with her husband, John Ajayi, aged 46.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Cecilia, the petitioner, accused Ajayi, the defendant, of being as a womaniser.
“My husband is a womaniser, he is dating four girls in our street and brings them into our matrimonial home.
“On many occasions, he and his lovers have beaten me up whenever I prevented them from entering our room.
“He was not satisfied with his lovers, as he, on several occasions, made attempts to rape my younger sister,” the wife told the court.
She also accused John, with whom she has three children, of excessive alcohol consumption.
Cecilia said, “John is a drunkard. After drinking to stupor, he will be falling inside gutter, talking in an incoherent manner.”
She also claimed that her husband sent her packing because she was not educated, saying, “he can no longer cope with illiterate.”
The wife said that John refused to leave his family house since they got married in 1996.
