A
42-year-old businessman, Livinus Uwa, has told an Igando Customary
Court in Lagos that he married a thief as the court dissolved the
4-year-old marriage.
Speaking at an Igando Customary Court sitting in Lagos, a
42-year-old businessman identified as Livinus Uwa, has disclosed that he
married a thief while testifying in a divorce petition against his
wife, Chinenye, on Wednesday.
Uwa urged the court to dissolve his 4-year-old marriage to Chineye
because of her penchant for stealing his money in the wardrobe.
“I married a thief. On severally occasions, my wife stole my
money from my wardrobe, rendering me broke. The last time she burgled my
room and stole N350,000.
“I reported the theft at the police station and she confessed
to the theft, but the money was not recovered. I have reported all her
attitudes and stealing habits to both families, they called her but she
refused to change," he said.
The petitioner accused his wife, who failed to appear in court
after several summonses of abandonment, adding that since they married,
Chineye had been appearing and disappearing.
“When she was pregnant, she left the house to an unknown place and came back after she was delivered of the baby.
“She abandoned our baby when she was 10-month-old. I have to
engage a baby sitter to take care of her. When the baby was two years, I
enrolled her in school and my wife reappeared,” he said.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the man described his estranged wife as a lazy and dirty woman, adding that "Chineye is lazy, she cannot cook, wash or sweep and I do the house chores."
He pleaded with the court to dissolve the marriage, since he could
no longer condone her stealing habits, adding that he was no longer in
love with her.
The President of the court, Adegboyega Omilola, in his judgment,
dissolved the marriage and held that it was obvious from available
testimony and the respondent’s refusal to appear in court that the
marriage had hit the rock.
He said throughout the duration of this case, the respondent
refused to honour court summon, adding that the court had no other
choice than to dissolve the marriage.
“The marriage between Livinus Uwa and Chineye Uwa is hereby
dissolved from today, both parties are no longer husband and wife, they
are free to go their separate ways without any hindrances and
molestation,” the judge said.
