My wife going abroad with her lover, husband tells court
A businessman, Nurudeen Lawal, on Friday pleaded with the Oja-Oba Sharia Court in Ibadan to dissolve his marriage because his wife allegedly abandoned him to make a foreign trip with her lover.
Lawal told the court that his wife of 19 years, Waliat Lawal, abandoned him to follow her concubine, who promised her trip to the UK.
He said, “My lord, one day, Waliat told me that her ex-lover had obtained an international passport that would enable her to travel to the United Kingdom with him.
“I was dazed by this announcement but I felt that she was in a `trans’.
“About three days after, I interrogated her again on the inconceivable news she gave me and Waliat repeated the same thing.
