‘I caught my wife panting, sweating in our neighbour’s room’

A physically challenged man identified as Mr Olaiya Adeagbo has pleaded with an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his 23-year-old marriage, accusing his wife of infidelity.

The 59-year-old accused his wife of having an affair with his neighbour.

In his words:

“I always received a tip-off from our neighbours that my wife is having an affair with one of our neighbours who was a bachelor.

“That fateful day, I came back home earlier and could not find her in our room, two of my neighbours told me that they sighted her when she sneaked into her lover’s room. 

“I went to knock on his door but he refused to open after hearing my voice. 

“I continued knocking and he later opened his door, and I saw my wife hiding behind his door sweating and panting, I greeted her and left. 

“After some days, her lover died and my wife disappeared from the house without taking anything and refused to come back.

“My wife later went to marry another man, who also died after some months of their marriage”.

In her submission, his wife who is a mother of four, Mrs Taiwo Adeagbo, 46, also accused her husband of committing adultery.

In her words:

“I am not having any affair with that our neighbour, he was only my benefactor who always meet my needs as my husband is not responsible, but unfortunately he is no more.”

Mrs Taiwo begged the court to grant her husband’s wish and terminate the marriage as she too was no longer interested in the union.

Mr Adegboyega Omilola who presided over the case however adjourned the case to May 10.
