Woman Drags Husband To Court Over Money Making Rituals (Page 5)

Toyin Owoyomi, 33, has dragged her husband, Israel, to a Grade ‘B’ Customary Court, Oshodi, Lagos, seeking dissolution of their 14-year old marriage.

Owoyomi alleged at the court that her husband, after joining politics in 2007, tried to use her for money-making rituals.

“I cannot allow my husband to kill me because I want to live and take care of my children. Since my husband joined Ekiti State politics in 2007, he has become fetish; he visits herbalists and does strange things, like buying white dishes and clay pots.

“I lost my last pregnancy because my husband massaged my belly in pretence that he wanted to know how the unborn child was doing.

“Five minutes after that I had a miscarriage which almost cost me my life. I have been having terrible dreams and revelations that my husband is up to something“, she said.

Owoyomi urged the court to grant her the custody of the two children of the union, adding that she could not continue to remain married to her husband.

Isreal, 43, denied the allegations and pleaded that the marriage should not be dissolved. He admitted that when he had a spiritual attack, he only visited a church and not an herbalist.

“Since my wife joined Mountain of Fire Church, her ways of thinking, attitude and perception about me changed negatively. She regarded me a sinner, and will never see anything good in whatever I say or do, “ he said.

The Court’s President, Alhaja A. I. Olorunimbe asked the embattled couple to maintain peace, advising Israel to seek for forgiveness from his wife before her judgement.

Olorunimbe adjourned the case till Jan. 23, next year, for further hearing. (NAN)
