She will not leave my two balls; always grabs, twists my

scrotum until I beg, cry

A 75-year-old businessman, Moshood Adedapo, has

approached an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to end his

marriage to his wife, Balikis, for allegedly grabbing and

twisting his scrotum. Adedapo told the court on Thursday

that his wife, Balikis, with whom he had three children in

their 20-year-old marriage, was threatening to kill.

“Whenever my wife and I are fighting, she will quickly grab

my testicles and start twisting them. “She will not leave my

two balls until I beg and cry.

“Last week, she came to my room while I was fast asleep

and grabbed my scrotum, saying I will not escape this time.

“I was crying and shouting for help, neighbours rushed to

rescue me, but still my wife refused to let go until I

struggled to bite her hands and she released them. “It was

after 20 minutes, I was able to regain consciousness; my

two balls have suffered in the hands of my wicked wife .

“Please, dissolve the marriage because I may not be lucky

next time,” he pleaded with the court. The petitioner said his

wife had vowed never to honour court’s proceeding.

“My wife went to my friend’s house and told him that I am

sleeping with his wife which is not the truth. “The

relationship my friend and I had built for a very long time,

my wife came to add sand,” he said. He also accused

Balikis of always cursing their children and those curses

were affecting them. He said that his wife always accused

him of threatening her life. “Anytime Balikis see rat,

cockroach or wall geckos in the house, she will be running

helter-skelter, accusing me of sending them to attack her,”

Adedapo said.

He described his wife as a troublesome person. “My wife

always fight with my tenants, friends and family; fighting is

in her blood and she does not get tired,” he said He begged

the court to end the marriage that he was no longer in love

with her and that he did not want to die now. The Court’s

President, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, ordered the petitioner to

produce evidence in order to continue with the case since

the respondent refused to honor the court’s invitation.

Omilola adjourned the case to April 4 for judgment.

 

A trader, Damilola Osilulu, on Tuesday told an Ile-Tuntun Customary Court in Ibadan that she beats her husband because he orders her around on how she should live her life. Testifying before Chief Henry Agbaje, the President of the court, Damilola countered her husband’s accusation, claiming that her husband complains a lot and also makes

s demands from her.

“Sometimes, Akinkunmi orders me to do senseless things and I don’t obey him. However, if I see wisdom in his demands, I try as much as possible to come down to his level. If I can’t take his nonsense, I hit him straight away because Akinkunmi feels he is the husband, and that he is also lord over me,” Damilola said.

 

Earlier in his account, Akinkunmi a printer, said that he filed  the divorce suit to bring an end to his wife’s domination over his affairs, NAN reports. “My lord, Damilola does not want me to have a say in the house as she challenges my authority. If I ask her to do anything, she questions my authority and violently attacks me.

 

“This is to the extent that people keep coming to our  matrimonial home for settlement of rift every now and then.  Only God knows what would have happened if I had reacted to her frequent attacks against me. Enough of Damilola’s nagging; I cannot continue to stand her disrespect. Besides, she doesn’t take proper care of our three-year-old child” Akinkunmi added.

 

In ruling, Agbaje prevailed on the couple to exercise more patience. He advised relatives of both parties to do the needful by settling the matter. Agbaje then adjourned the case until Aug. 31 for judgment.
