My husband threatens me with broken bottles – Wife tells court

By


Adedayo Kanisuru, an hair dresser, on Tuesday urged a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan to dissolve the 12-year-old marriage between her and her estranged husband, Sherif, because he usually threatens her with broken bottle.

In her petition to the court, Adedayo, a resident of Apete area of Ibadan, said that her husband often attacked her with broken bottles whenever there was any dispute.

“Whenever there was any misunderstanding between Sherif and I at home, the first thing he does is to break a bottle and threaten to stab me.

“My lord, Sherif is such a wicked man no woman should ever marry because he tortures the two children and I with starvation and lack of care.

“As if that is not enough, he comes to my shop to destroy my goods and leave me with nothing.

“Worst still, Sherif has secretly married another wife somewhere and has even abandoned the two children to me.

“The last time he came home, Sherif stole the little I had left on me and when I complained, he unleashed mayhem on me.

“When Sherif was seriously ill, my parents and I spent all we had on him, but he has remained an ingrate.

“He has forcefully taken the children from me and he can’t give them the needed care,” NAN quoted her as saying.

The respondent, who did not oppose the divorce, also did not deny most of the allegations levelled against him.

Sherif, however, argued that his wife was wayward.

“Though I accept to part ways with Adedayo, I don’t want the court to give her custody of the children because she is a wayward woman.

“The children might not be well brought up due to the fact that she is busy going to parties.

“In fact, Adedayo leaves home in the morning and returns home by eight in the night.

“I am very happy that she is going because I have long lived under the threat of her waywardness and troublemaking,” Sherif said.

Ruling on the matter, the court’s president, Chief Ademola Odunade dissolved the union between Adedayo and Sherif, saying there was no more love between them.

Odunade awarded custody of the two children produced by the union to Adedayo and ordered Sherrif to pay N10,000 as monthly feeding allowance for the children.

He also directed the respondent to be responsible for the children’s education and other welfare needs.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
