A Customary Court sitting in Jikwoyi, FCT, had on Tuesday, 2nd February, granted one Martha Ojo’s estranged husband, Moses, divorce on grounds that he is secretly planning to marry his sales girl.
However, while defending herself in a divorce petition Moses filed against her before the court, the respondent who resides in Abuja said;
“My husband is a grade one liar. At the last sitting, I travelled to Jos to see my aunty, I was unable to come for the court sitting, my husband came to court and told a lie against me.
“He told the court that I went to meet my lover that I was planning a wedding. I have it on record that he is the one planning a secret wedding.
“I am fed up with this marriage, please grant him his prayer, let him go and marry his salesgirl,” she added.
According to the respondent, said that the petitioner has already thrown her belongings out of the house.
She also begged the court to grant her custody of the children of their marriage.
The matter was adjourned until March 9, for judgment by the presiding judge, Jemilu Jega.
