husband, John Ajayi, for who she had three

whenever I am not at home.

succeed in raping her one day,” a discomfited
wife said.
The petitioner also accused her husband of
infidelity.
“My husband is a womaniser; he brings girls,
nursing mothers and divorcees into our
matrimonial home.
“On many occasions, he and his lovers had
beaten me up wherever I tried to prevent them
from entering our room.
“He even impregnated one of the women,” she
alleged.
Cecilia said that her husband sent her packing
because she was an illiterate.

can no longer cope with an illiterate.

after listening to the couple, adjourned the case
to July 12 for further hearing.
