My Husband Sleeps With Women In My Presence —Housewife

A housewife, Folashayo, has told a court that her husband, Bolade Anjorin, is so promiscuous that he brings women to their home and sleeps with them in her presence.
Folashayo, Secretary of the Ifako-Ijaiye Welders Association, who is seeking the dissolution of their 23-year old marriage at an Agege Grade ‘A’ Customary Court sitting in Lagos, southwest Nigeria, also told the court that her welder husband is fond of using dangerous weapons to attack her whenever there is a misunderstanding between them, even while she was pregnant.
The mother of five further told the court that Bolade had on several occasions burnt the goods (baby/children’s wears) she sells, during some of their quarrels because of his eccentric and overbearing attitude.
According to her, “my husband loves women so much that he brings them home. Any time he wants to do this, he would ask me to go to my parents’ house for some time and if I refuse, hell will be let loose. He once told me that he had no money to take them to a hotel.
“At a time, he told me that if I wanted peace to reign in the house, I should woo a particular girl, Sarah, for him. I obliged him for peace to reign because he is too troublesome. They would sleep on the bed while I slept on the carpet. Unfortunately for him, the lady absconded with his money.
Folashayo told the court further that the bone of contention was her dexterity in handling welding jobs, which she learnt from him by chance.

“I got fed up and had to lie that I was single to get a job at Nabisco. Yet, my troublesome husband would come to their gate and start shouting that I was married with two children.
“When he got home the day he heard about my house, he nearly snuffed life out of me. He said I was building a house when he was still living in a rented apartment. He beat me to the extent that I couldn’t raise any part of my body and I was naked on the floor. He stabbed me in the breast with a fork and I lost so much blood. Then he locked the door from inside, and told our neighbours not to force the door open or else he would kill me. I had to signal to them not to break the door.
“He had on several occasions gone away with women for months only to come back begging for forgiveness after exhausting his money on them and booze. He now smokes Indian hemp and doesn’t care about the upkeep of our children. Our first child is in 200 level in a higher institution but he doesn’t care about his schooling,” she said.
