Lagos An Igando Customary Court in Lagos on Wednesday dissolved an 18-year-old marriage between a Muslim cleric and his wife over irreconcilable differences.
The estranged husband, Lawal Temidire, 67, had on July 24 approached the court seeking the dissolution of the union over Risikat's rejection of his segxwal advances.
In his ruling, the President of the court, Mr T.A. Eko, said the marriage was dissolved since all efforts to reconcile the couple had failed.
“Since all efforts to resolve the couple have proved abortive, the court is left with no option than to grant the plaintiff his wish.
“The marriage between Lawal Temidire and Risikat Temidire is hereby dissolved.''
Eko ordered the plaintiff to pay N50,000 to the estranged wife to enable her to relocate to a new apartment.
He urged both parties to keep the peace at all times, warning that anyone who breached the agreement would be dealt with.
Earlier, the husband had told the court that quarrels and fights had always preceded every advance he made to his former wife.
“We usually fight each time I want to sleep with her. She did not allow me to make love to her on many occasions. I used to force her and I am sick and tired of this.
“I do not love her anymore. I want this marriage dissolved,'' Temidire said.
Risikat, 50, a business woman, who denied the claims of her husband, urged the court to grant her husband's request for the dissolution of the marriage.

@JOHNPET, it's not only egregious of u to attack other people's faith or credos, it's also highly barbaric! It is only a nitwit or nincompoop that 'll attack other people's religion without an apologia. What right have u to insult the PROPHET-PBUH? Were u in d grave when Rev. Pastor Chris Okotie divorced (for the second time with different women) his wife, Stephanie? Did u hear anybody tag it to JESUS CHRIST-PBUH? This is how u create unnecessary rancor and hatred among d people with ur religious bigotry. Plz, watch what comes outta ur gullet, lest u incur d wrath of God
Riches...Yes! I Can
