It is very unfortunate that people hardly go into marriage these
days with only God on their agenda. They do all sorts and employ all kinds of
diabolic means to control you, make you abandon your parents, etc.
Here is one of such
crazy story. A middle-aged woman, Sophia Arapogun, has prayed an Agege
customary court to dissolve her 11yrs marriage because her husband, Patrick,
abandoned her for two years.
Mrs. Arapogun, who
lived with her husband and his six children from his previous marriage, said he
never asked her how she fed.
“My husband buys
foodstuffs for his children and asks them to keep them in their room. He never
asked what I needed at a particular moment and we lived together.”
The petitioner said her husband came home at a time to sprinkle
something that looked like blood all over the house, adding that she worked as
a clerical officer in her husband’s hospital.
She said: “I used to package melon to sell in neighbouring
markets but since my husband didn’t like the idea, he employed me in his
hospital. There was a day I took N300 to take passport photograph, he shouted
at me in the presence of his children and I felt humiliated. I was more shocked
when he made sure I refunded the money.”
The husband reacts
Patrick said he married her because he heard a pathetic story
about her, adding: “I asked if she had any
evil spirit or medical problems which didn’t make her conceive during her two
previous marriages but she said no; then I married her.”
The respondent, a doctor, said after their marriage, he
discovered that three minutes after making love to her, he got a knock on his
head. “Not only did I get a
knock, whenever I had the intention of sleeping with her, I would discover
rashes on my manhood or my manhood would be twisted. At times, I would not get
erection or my sperm ceases. Since then, I became afraid of everything,” Arapogun said.
He said his hospital crumbled after his wife began to work with
him, adding that she also stole money.
“When we lived together, there were times my wife left the
bedroom and returned in the morning without any explanation. Our union is bad omen. I have suffered from swollen legs, slight
stroke and it was when I realised my wife defecates in the bucket I used to
bathe that I decided to leave with my children because I was not ready to die
young and I don’t know what was going to happen next,” he said.
President of the court, Pa Adekunle Williams, ordered the wife
to maintain the peace and adjourned the matter till July 13 for judgement.
