For allegedly denying her sex for seven years, Mrs Helen Otike, has approached an Igando Customary Court in Lagos, to end her 18-year-old marriage to her husband, Godwin.<\/p>\n

The 50-year-old businesswoman told the court on Wednesday that her husband refused to make love to her all this long.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cMy husband who built a duplex in Lagos abandoned me alone in his house and travelled to Abuja for greener pasture but whenever he comes home he refuses to sleep with me.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will enter his room and lock it from inside. I will knock severally but he will not open and after some days he will travel again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have travelled to Abuja on many occasions to meet him at his office but he does not want me to know where he lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know why he does not want me to have a child but he has children with other women.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is unfortunate, I have wasted my years with him without a child, I am 50-year-old now, where do I start from.\u201d<\/p>\n

The petitioner also accused her husband of stealing her N500,000.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cWhen I flew my brother to India for kidney transplant, I kept N500,000 in my wardrobe so that I can see what to spend when I return.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when I came back, my husband had stolen the money and he is yet to give it to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She begged the court to dissolve the marriage.<\/p>

However, Godwin Otike, denied stealing the woman\u2019s N500,000, claiming that he used the money for prayers.<\/p>\n

She said, \u201cWhen my wife took her brother abroad for kidney transplant, I took her money and used part to settle the pastors that were praying for the success of the transplant.<\/p>\n

\u201cI used the other part of the money for transportation to churches for prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 68-year-old training consultant said that he was told by his mother that his mother-in-law was behind his predicament.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy mother told me before she died that my wife\u2019s mother had hand in my downfall.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe told me not to allow my wife to attend her burial when she died which I did,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

The respondent conceded to the dissolution of the marriage that he too was also fed up with the union.<\/p>\n

The court president, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, adjourned the case until May 30 for judgment.<\/p>\n
