  • My husband deceived me into marrying him, woman tells court

    The President of Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan, Oyo State, Mr Suleiman Apanpan, on Thursday dissolved an eight-year-old marriage between Aminat Olaniyi and Kassim Olaniyi over deception.

    Apanpan held that the marriage was laid on a deceitful foundation and it was bound to crash with time.

    He, however, advised lovers to make sincerity the watchword of their relationships.

    The court granted the custody of the two children produced by the union to Aminat and directed Kassim to pay a monthly allowance of N8, 000 to Aminat for the children’s upkeep.

    “Kassim will also be responsible for the children’s education and other welfare,”Apanpan said.

    Aminat had in her petition said that her husband deceived her into marrying by lying to her about what he was not.

    “Before I eventually married Kassim, he never informed me that he had any children and when I found out that he did, he only admitted to having just one child.

    “However, I later discovered that he had three children as against one,’’ she said.

    Aminat also said that Kassim was not taking good care of the family.

    She said that whenever he was returning home from work, he would buy beans cake (akara) and pap for the family which would serve as their meal for the day.

    “On few occasions that he gave us money, it was just N200 for the children and me.

    “He was fond of giving untenable excuses for his irresponsibility, but he could afford to have three children out of wedlock,”Aminat told the court.

    However, the respondent who opposed the petition by his wife failed to advance convincing evidence for his argument.

    Kassim, who resides at Ogbere-Ti-Oya area of Ibadan said that he was taking good care of his family to the best of his ability.

    “Aminat received the best medical treatments when she was delivered of our babies.’’

    Kassim said his wife’s problem was that she was always going to places in search of jobs.

    “I warned Aminat to stay with me, but she deserted me when I was ill,’’ he said.

    He said that he had the children Aminat referred to as children-out-of-wedlock during the three years that she abandoned him.

    The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Aminat resides at Ipaja-Ayobo area of Lagos State.

  • Dubious wife fakes own kidnap, demands N15m ransom from husband

    Dubious wife fakes own kidnap, demands N15m ransom from husband

    The police in Lagos have arrested a woman, Hadijat Kabir, for allegedly faking her own kidnap to defraud her husband of N15 million.

    The police said Mrs. Kabir and her suspected co-conspirators committed the act at Ado-Odo, Ota local government area of Ogun State where she was supposedly being held.

    Edgar Imohimi, the state commissioner of police, said while the suspects were hiding in Ado-Odo, they made several calls to Muraino Kabir asking him to pay a ransom of N15 million to secure his wife’s freedom.

    Mr Imohimi told reporters during a press briefing at the Lagos State police command headquarters, Ikeja, that Mrs Kabir confessed during interrogation that she planned the fake kidnap with the help of the other suspects.

    “Prior to the arrest of Mrs Kabir and her team of conspirators, Alhaji Muraino Kabir filed a report at Ikotun police station that his wife, Hadijat Kabir, and his 18 year old daughter who has psychiatric issues, were kidnapped on their way to the psychiatric hospital at Oshodi Lagos,” he said.

    He said based on the report of Mr. Kabir, the Anti-Kidnapping Squad began investigating the alleged crime and soon discovered that it was planned.

    Speaking to reporters, Mrs Kabir corroborated the police chief’s story of what happened, adding that she did it because her husband did not give her money despite being rich.

    “I kept myself in place, no one kidnapped me. I did it because I needed money, I asked my husband for a sum of ₦500,000 but he refused. He has different companies and many houses here in Lagos and he doesn’t give me money,” she said.

    Mrs Kabir said despite being married to her husband for 27 years with four children between them, Mr Muraino was not taking good care of her.

    One of the arrested suspects, Ahmed Kudus, said he did not take part in planning the fake kidnap but merely helped his brother, another suspect to make phone calls.

    “I didn’t know Hadijat Kabir before, I met her when she came to meet my brother, Ahmed Lukman about five days ago. She mentioned that she wanted to take her child for treatment and I suggested a hospital but she said the situation of the child is beyond hospital matter and that she needed to go to an herbalist.

    “Later, I heard my brother talking to someone on the phone demanding money, while Hadijat was crying in pretense. I helped by collecting the phone to tell the man to give them the money they asked for.”

    Mr Imohimi added that investigation into the case was still ongoing as they police are still working to arrest other fleeing suspects.”

    According to friends of the deceased, who have two children, Damilola and Olumide are planning to celebrate their ‘marriage’ anniversary in a few months’ time. Damilola was said to have started a fight with her husband when Olumide got home.

    The woman reportedly stabbed the man during the fight. The injured Olumide was rushed to a hospital close to Lagos Island General Hospital, where he eventually bled to death.

    The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), CSP Chike Oti, said that Damilola had been arrested while the victim’s body was deposited at the morgue of the same hospital for autopsy. Oti said that preliminary investigation was in progress with a view to transferring the case to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (SCIID), Panti, Yaba, for discreet investigation.

    The PPRO noted that a man, Sunday Ayeni Omowale, of No 8, Bamgbose Street, Lagos Island, reported at Lion Building Police Station that his son, Olumide Ayeni, of No 78, Bamgbose Street, Lagos Island, was allegedly stabbed by his wife with a knife in the left side of the chest.

    Oti added that according to Damilola, the deceased called her on the phone earlier in the evening but she missed his call. “When he came back home about 1a.m., he queried her whereabouts when he called her phone in the evening.

    He accused her of infidelity and charged towards her with a knife. She then picked the kitchen knife and stabbed him in self-defence,” the PPRO quoted the woman as saying.

    How I lost my legs to husband beating – Woman

    One Riskat Abdulsalam, a mother of two, on Thursday asked a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan to dissolve her 12-year-old marriage with her husband, Taiwo Abdulsalam for wife battering.

    Narrating her ordeal, Riskat who lived at Bodija area of Ibadan, said that her husband had become so used to beating her to the extent that he rendered her incapacitated as she could no longer walk.

    NAN quoted her as saying, “Taiwo has subjected me to untold physical, psychological and emotional torture and the latest is the reason why I chose to part ways with him.

    “After I left his home on Sept. 8 2017, he met me at Molete area where he violently pushed me into a ditch and I lost my two legs to that singular push.

    “Medical doctors told me that I might never be able to use my legs to walk normally again and that is why am on clutches now.

    “Taiwo beats me every now and then on simple matters and even starved the children and I of food.

    “Whether he is responsible or not, I pray this honourable court to give me custody of the two children, because he has not got what it takes to cater for them.”

    The respondent, who accepted the divorce suit, however, denied all the allegations levelled against him.

    Taiwo, a businessman, said that his wife lacked patience, adding that she was the sole cause of her predicament.

    “My lord, Riskat is not ready to endure with me in any bad situation. Whenever there is little or nothing, she comes with her problems.

    “However, I give her more than enough anytime I am buoyant, including the children.

    “In fact, I have pleaded with her over and over not to leave me, but Riskat cursed herself that she would prefer to be afflicted with tragedy than to come back to my house.

    “I even invited some Islamic clerics to intervene, but she remained adamant,” Taiwo explained.

    Chief Ademola Odunade, President of the court, advised the duo to consider the implication of their action on their children by allowing peace to prevail.

    Odunade adjourned the case till Aug. 16 for judgment.

    Blessing claimed that when the pains became unbearable, she reported the matter at the Domestic Violence Unit at Alausa, in Ikeja, Lagos.

    “I had to take my children out of the house when he continued beating me, even after the matter was reported to the domestic violence unit at Alausa, Ikeja Lagos.

    “My husband signed an undertaking to stop beating me, but he never did. I had to go back to my parents’ house when the beating became unbearable,” she said.

    The petitioner told the court that she had to move to her parents’ home to be able to remain alive.

    She described her husband as an aggressive and violent man, pleading with the court to dissolve the union.

    “I am no longer interested in the union; my husband does not care for me and beats me habitually,” Blessing said.

    She prayed the court to give her custody of their children and to award her other consequential orders as the court may deem fit.

    The respondent, however, denied ever raising his hands against his wife.

    “I still love my wife and do not want to divorce her,” he said.

    Emmanuel, 38, a forex trader, urged the court not to dissolve the marriage.

    The respondent said that whenever he tries to leave the house to avoid further confrontation, the wife becomes violent.

    “I don’t beat my wife like she claimed, rather, she is the one that gets violent anytime we have any misunderstanding,” he said.

    The court president, Mrs Ibironke Elabor, told the estranged couple to remain at peace and adjourned the suit until August 30, for Alternative Dispute Resolution.

    I met my wife in a club- DJ Jimmy Jatt

    Nigeria’s influential DJ and entertainer, DJ Jimmy Jatt shocked his fans when recently when he revealed that he met his wife in a night club.

    The highly acclaimed DJ made this known in a chat with Punch.

    According to him: “We met at a party. Where else should a DJ meet a lady? Also, don’t mind the Yoruba who say “a wife you meet in a dance house will later dance away.” It is a big lie. My friend met his wife in the church and she is gone. I met mine at a party, we danced and we are still dancing. When you tell people you met a girl in the club, they would have a wrong impression of her. But the club is not the devil’s place of hangout; it is just a fun place.”

     

    When asked how he convinced her to marry him, the DJ said :“It was a progression. I dated my wife for six years before we got married. We never planned to get married from the start. When we met, I was very young. I was 22. I thought she was pretty and she thought I was sociable. Before we knew it, we had spent years together”.
