Patrick Idoko,who is aged 40, from Benue State, who lives in Shomoye Street, Ijaiye-Ojokoro, Lagos described his wife as annoying and uncaring to him.
He went to court to end the marriage on grounds of unfaithfulness, lack of love and care for hims and the four children of the union.
His marriage, he said, there was no crises until two years ago when he suspected Udoka his wife having extra-marital affairs with another man.
“l set a trap for her and she fell for it on the 12 of January and since then, my wife refused to come home.
“Due to her shameful act, she left me and I have been taking care of the children.”
The petitioner said he secretly installed a memory card on the new phone he bought for her to record her conversations.
“The playback of the phone revealed the secret conversations between the respondent and her secret lover.”
In her response, Udoka, denied all the allegations made against her and pleaded with the court not to dissolve the marriage, attributing her travails to rumour mongers in their neighbourhood.
The petitioner had earlier accepted to take the woman back on the condition that she subjected herself to some “spiritual cleansing”.
The respondent agreed to the terms, but refused to follow the husband to the village for the cleansing.
Dissolving the union, the President of the court, Mr Philip Williams, said: “The relationship between the couple has broken down completely and the respondent shows she is no more interested in the marriage.”
He asked both parties to go their separate ways and warned them to desist from blackmailing and harassing each other.
The president warned the respondent not to go to the petitioner’s residence, work place or his church to
cause trouble and directed that the marriage dissolution certificate should be sent to Udoka to inform her about the development.
