A Customary Court sitting in Mapo, Ibadan, on Friday dissolved a 26-year-old marriage between, Kemi Oyeniyi and her husband, Olusola over alleged witchcraft practices.
Oyeniyi told the court that her husband would have killed her, if not for her faith. She rejected all peace effort made at resolving the matter.
The Lagos based businesswoman told the court;
“If I had known that Olusola was a wife killing husband, I will not have married him.
”I missed so many opportunities to work in Saudi Arabia because Olusola opposed the idea.
”I caught Olusola one day planting a broomstick on a footpath he knew I would pass.
”A few days before I travelled, my pastor told me that my husband had planted a killer-charm in my body and that I should plead with him to free me.
“In Saudi, my children and relatives sent me many video recordings of how Olusola flirts about with ladies of his children’s age, even kissing them in their presence,” she alleged.
Olusola denied the allegations, he however, consented to the divorce.
He said; ”She is a pathological liar who abandoned me immediately she returned from her trip abroad.
“It is true that she sent me some money, but I made judicious use of it”.
