A Lagos-based businesswoman, Iyabo Olusoji has appealed to a court
to end her marriage as she described her husband, a pastor, as a
chronic womanizer. She told a Customary Court sitting in the Igando
area of the state that her husband, Pastor Taiwo, is an habitual
adulterer, adding that he had impregnated her friend.
She accused Pastor Taiwo of using charm to marry her, saying she
initially went to his church for prayers when she was
having marital
problem with her ex-husband and that Pastor Taiwo gave her soap to
bath.
In her words: “I went to Taiwo to seek help concerning my
marriage that was collapsing. He gave me soap to bath with
that my former husband will come back . After using the soap,
instead of my husband and I to settle our differences, it became
worse and I don’t know how I became one of Taiwo’s wives.”
According to her, her husband always beat her anytime she goes to
his church to ask for money and he will not leave her until he sees
blood on her. She added that:
“My husband runs after anything in skirt. He flirts around with some
of his female members, he also slept with my friend and got her
pregnant.”
Iyabo, mother of one, consented to dissolution of the the union,
saying that she was no longer in love and that Pastor Taiwo is only
keeping her as a sex tool.
On his part, Pastor Taiwo, 53, begged the court to dissolve the 7-
year-old marriage, citing Iyabo’s constant embarrassment and
defamation. He said she always came to his church to embarrass,
defame his character in the presence of his members.
He added: “She will come to my church, lock me up in the presence of
my members, calling me all sorts of names like thief, woman wrapper,
cultist and other names. There was one day she came and naked
herself in the presence of my congregation claiming that I abandoned
her for two years.”
He pleaded with the court to dissolve the union, saying that that he is
tired of his wife’s bad character.
The Presiding Officer, R.I. Adeyeri, adjourned the case to February 3
for judgement.
