A 44-year-old businessman, Ekpolador Ebi, told a Federal Capital Territory (FCT), High Court, Kubwa, that he would no longer tolerate his wife’s masturbation.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Ebi made this known when he testified in his divorce petition against his wife, Gloria Onajero, in Abuja.
He urged the court to end their marriage, which had produced two children because of his wife’s unfaithful and intolerable character.
The petitioner also questioned the paternity of his children, when he found out about his wife’s extra-marital affair with one Richard.
He also noted that his wife had impacted on their children negatively.
“She masturbates on a regular basis. I have warned her to desist from it, but she failed to stop. Now, my first daughter is also into the practice.
“I caught her on three occasions; I spoke to the mother about it and she promised to do something about it, but she didn’t.
“Now that we are separated, I noticed that the children now have inferiority complex and this they display especially in school.
“My first daughter also gets angry easily; she slams the door at you when you try to scold her. All these never used to be,” he said.
Ebi also told the court that he ran away from home because his wife and mother in-law were always frustrating all his plans.
According to him, his wife also beats the children so hard and without mercy and when he tried to caution her, her mother speaks in her favour.
The petitioner urged the court to, aside dissolving the marriage, help him recover his property from his wife.
“My wife came into this marriage with nothing, but when she left, she went away with everything I had.
“She took all the original documents of my property, including our marriage certificate.
“I want everything back, including my first daughters’ international passport which has a five-year-visa on it.
“I also want this court to order her to stop calling me at odd hours. She calls me late in the night for no good reason,” he said.
Mr Festus Ukpe, counsel to the respondent, applied to the court to grant them two dates of adjournment to enable him and his client prepare their defense.
