Man says wife slaps him often while seeking divorce

Abdulrahman Ganiyu, a 30-year-old
man in Abuja has pleaded with the
court to dissolve his five months
marriage on the grounds that his wife
slaps him.
He revealed that his wife, Nafisat Oseni,
is very troublesome. He revealed that
she slaps him whenever she feels like.
“ Before I got married to her, she was not
like this; but the moment I married her,
she became something else.
“It’s like she was just waiting for me to
marry her because since we got married,
she developed a new character. “She
doesn’t take care of the house, she no
longer takes instructions from me.’’
The young man who was embittered
shared all he’s been through within the
short time he married her with the
court.
“She is very troublesome and hits my
face whenever she is provoked.
“She also receives her male friends as
visitors in our house,’’ he said.
It was gathered that the young man
moved out of the house. He was asked
why he took such a step and he said he
moved out after he found diabolical
substances in their home.
“ I was left with no option than to move
out because I discovered fetish
substances around the house on few
occasions.

“Also, on one occasion that we had a hot
argument, she took a knife from the
kitchen to stab me, but I escaped, and
after that, I left the apartment for her
since February,’’ he added.
The young man who was tired of the
marriage accused the wife of peddling
their affairs with her family members.
However, the wife felt differently about
the issue at hand as she urged the court
to give them time to sort their
differences. She said she loves her
husband deeply and that the two
families would be meeting to resolve the
issue.
“ Sir, it is a new marriage and we are just
getting to know each other better; both
families are trying to help us; we need a
little time to sort out ourselves,’ ’ Nafisat
said.
The judge, Mr Hassan Ishaq, urged the
couple to be more patient with each
other and learn to listen to each other.

“ Both of you are still young and you
have a lot to learn from the institution of
marriage, you also need patience. Try
and settle between yourselves before the
next adjourned date.’ ’
He adjourned the matter till April 24 for
report of settlement.
