The 11-year-old marriage between
an Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State based
businessman, Muyiwa Owolabi and
his wife, Tinuola, has been nullified
by a Customary Court sitting in the
state capital following allegations
that the woman was involved in
adultery with men she met on the
social media platform, Facebook.
According to a report in Vanguard,
Owolabi had prayed the court to
separate him from his wife because
she was a serial adulteress who saw
nothing wrong in sleeping around
with men, something that caused
turbulence in the marriage which
produced two children.
He also accused Tinuola of using
Facebook and WhatsApp to connect
with different men with whom she
had sexual affairs. To back up his
accusation, Owolabi tendered
computer generated evidences of her
conversation with her lovers in
court.
He showed the court text message
communications she had with the
men as well as printout of pictures of
the men in question.
But his wife vehemently denied
having any love relationships with
the men, telling the court that her
husband was in the habit of beating
her up at the slightest provocation
and starving her anytime he was
angry.
She also urged the court to dissolve
the union as she was also fed up.
In delivering his judgment, the
president of the court, Joseph
Ogunsemi , held that it was clear
from the available evidence before
the jury that both parties are living
apart, and that the union has broken
down irretrievably.
He duly nullified the marriage and
granted custody of the two kids to
Owolabi.
