A 57-year-old retiree Joe Ubigho, told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos yesterday that his wife of 19 years , Rita , was too lazy and had left everything in the house to maids. He told the court that his 45, year-old wife could not do anything, and usually gets angry and disappears from the house whenever she was queried . He said that his wife was so lazy that he was forced to take their children to a boarding school for proper care. He also accused his wife of financial recklessness, saying that she could not manage a business outfit he set up for her. Ubigho who begged the court to dissolve the union , said his wife packed out of the house four weeks ago, saying that he was no more ready to take her in. “My wife is very lazy; she has left everything in the house for our maids to do, including cooking . My wife mismanaged the business I established for her. Her shop is now empty and she keeps demanding for money every time,” he said. Rita , his 45-year-old wife , mother of three and a businesswoman in her defence said that it was her husband that chased her away from the house threatening to bathe her with acid if she did not leave. The woman accused her husband of vandalism, saying that he destroyed the car he bought for her. Rita also said that she did not mismanage the business her husband set up for her and it was her husband that ordered her to use the business money for new shops he was building, promising to pay her back. “My husband threatened to bath me with acid if I refused to leave his house; so, I packed my belongings to stay with a woman whom he knows very well.I pleaded with him to allow me stay in his house to care of my children.My husband damaged the car he bought for me, he stopped me on the road and demanded for the car key and declared that he was no longer interested in giving me the car. “I demanded for an explanation and he threatened to burn me with the car if I refused to comply, before I knew what was happening, he started destroying the windscreen .Most time, he will come to my shop with strange people, remove some goods for them and promise to pay me— which he never did. Anytime I ask for the money, he will fight me,” she said. Rita promised to take good care of her husband and the children and urged the court not to dissolve the marriage as she was still in love. The court president , Mr Hakeem Oyekan, adjourned the case to August 17.
