Health worker, Funmilayo Akinmulero on Friday pleaded with a Customary Court in Badagry, Lagos, to dissolve her marriage because her husband had attempted to commit suicide twice.<\/p>\n

Funmilayo, 45, told the court that her husband of 11 years, Olusegun Akinmulero, had twice attempted to commit suicide \u201cbecause he was fed up with life.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy lord, my husband is not responsible. He tried to commit suicide twice, saying he was fed up with life without considering me and his children.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time he bought rat killer to poison himself but after eating it, the medicine did not kill him. We had to rush him to the hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter returning, a few days later, he said that he wanted to die again and went to the bush with rope but he was rescued by a neighbour.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the one responsible for the upkeep of the three children of the marriage. He is not taking care of me or the three children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funmilayo also told the court that Olusegun attacked her on January 15, 2016 and wanted to kill her with a cutlass, saying that she was saved by neighbours.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband brought a lady into the house when I was not at home. After having carnal knowledge of her, they used my new towel to clean themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I came back I discovered that my towel was wet and when I asked, he slapped me and brought out a cutlass,\u201d the mother of three, residing at Igbo Eji in Iragbon, Badagry stated.<\/p>

Funmilayo also alleged that Olusegun once fled home for six months, after collecting N500, 000 to make furniture for a customer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn November 24, 2018, after abandoning us for six months, he called me that he had been arrested by the police.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the station, police informed me that he collected N500, 000 from a man and spent the money without doing his work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI told them that I don\u2019t know anything about the money because he had not been home in the past six months.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m no longer interested in him my lord. I have met another man when he abandoned us and I am now pregnant for him,\u201d Funmilayo said.<\/p>\n

She begged the court to dissolve the marriage and order Olusegun to be responsible for the upkeep of the children.<\/p>\n

Olusegun, a furniture maker, however, was not in court to respond to the charges.<\/p>\n

The President of the court, Mr Shakirudeen Adekola, adjourned the case until July 18 for judgement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
