An estranged husband, Clifford Monday, admitted in an
Akure Customary Court that he only beat his wife, Bukola, whenever she flouted
his instructions. Clifford made this known when he testified in a divorce
petition filed by the wife. He told the court that Bukola was the main cause of the
misunderstanding they had in the union.
He also admitted he destroyed his wife’s property, adding that his wife used tricks to extort money from him. Ealier, the petitioner, urged the court to dissolve the 11-year-old marriage for alleged constant beating, drunkenness, promiscuity and insensitivity to her.

Bukola gave an instance when her husband beat her during her second pregnancy to stupor
and attempted to abort the pregnancy but her mother intervened. She said that
the respondent always raised suspicion on all her movements, and had abandoned
her and the three children of the marriage.
The President of the court, Mr Ayodele Omotola, held
that the evidences before the court showed there was no marriage between the
two parties. Omotola noted that the court’s priority and consideration were on
the products of the union. He, therefore, dissolved the union and ordered the Mr.
Clifford Monday to pay N10,000 monthly to the court for the upkeep of the
children and takes responsibility of paying the children school fees
He
said that both parties would be responsible for the medical and clothing of the
kids.
