Husband sneaks at night to sleep with maid

Mrs Florence Anyasi a 36-year-old trader, on Wednesday reported to a Customary Court in Igando, Lagos to dissolve her 10-year-old marriage because her husband, is a chronic womaniser.

She told the court that apart from numerous cases of his following women around, her husband used to sneak into their maid’s room to sleep with her.

“My husband is a womaniser, he used to leave me in the bed at night and sneak into my maid’s room. I have caught him severally on my maid’s bed sexually assaulting her.

Anyasi also accused the husband of threatening her life.“My husband always tells me that he will get rid of me and had once succeeded in poisoning me.

The woman stressed that her husband was irresponsible and unable to provide food or pay for the education of their children. She therefore urged the court to dissolve her marriage with Stanley.

The defendant however, denied all the allegations and in turn accused his wife of adultery, claiming that her lover even bought a car for her

The 40-year-old businessman said that his wife packed out of their matrimonial home in 2017 without his knowledge. On the allegation of turning her to a punching bag, Stanley said that he only beat her once when she stabbed him with bottle on his head.

The respondent urged the court to grant his wife’s wish for the dissolution of marriage saying that he too was no longer interested.

The court president, Mr Akin Akinniyi, admonished the couple to maintain peace and fixed July 3, for judgment.
