I've been starved of sex for 10 years - wife tells court

Mrs Funmilayo Adedeji, 46, a business woman has reported at Igando Customary Court in Lagos on Thursday that her husband had denied her sex for 10 years. This report given was as a result of a divorce suit filed by her husband, Omotayo, who gave no reason for starving her of sex. 

In her statement below as she lamented, she said

“My husband refused to make love to me since 2006, I don’t know his reason. I have called members of my family and those of his family to intervene but he refused to change. My body yearns for sex but I don’t just want to commit adultery because I want all the children to be fathered by one man,” “My husband’s wealth came and money started booming after the birth of our baby. Our son is now 12-year-old, but he can neither walk nor talk. He wanted to divorce me so that I will no longer persuade him to take the boy to the hospital for treatment. He had always rejected medical treatment and had refused me approaching a church for deliverance. I always curse him because he used to beat me; he once beat me to pulp and I landed in the hospital. "

She begged the court not to grant her husband’s wish, saying she was still in love.

The petitioner, a 51-year-old clearing agent, had approached the court seeking to end his 16-year-old marriage over defamation of his character by his wife. In his statement below, he said;

“My wife won’t stop accusing me of using my physically challenged son for money ritual. It is God that has blessed me with wealth; I never used my son. "“My wife always curses me very early in the morning and those curses are now coming to pass in my life. Please, dissolve the marriage before the devil will use me." 

After listening to both sides, the court’s president, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, adjourned the case till Sept. 6 for judgment.
