"My wife is a devil and the demons in her are affecting me spiritually," a pastor, Samuel Asiru, told a Somolu Grade 'A' Customary Court in Lagos on Monday shortly before their marriage was dissolved.
Asiru, 67, who was in the dock for about 40 minutes, prostrated and pleaded passionately with the court to dissolve his 20-year-old marriage with Helen, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
He added, "I brought my wife to this court in 2007 asking for the dissolution of the relationship and we were reconciled, but the demons in Helen are still affecting me spiritually.
"I am tired of the marriage as she has not given me rest of mind. I moved out of my matrimonial home since 2002 because of her conduct.
"Some members of the Christian Association of Nigeria and 13 different pastors have also intervened, but I cannot take her back."
Upholding his plea, the President of the court, Mrs. Modupe Bajulaiye, said the dissolution was inevitable as all efforts to save the marriage had failed.
The magistrate said, "We gave the couple four months to reconcile their differences since the case began on June 3.
"And since the reconciliatory efforts had been unsuccessful, we have no option but to dissolve the union."
