Man loses 10-year marriage for sleeping with maid

An Igando Customary Court in Lagos on Wednesday dissolved the 10-year marriage between Florence Anyasi and her husband, Stanley Anyasi, over infidelity.

The court president, Akin Akinniyi, while delivering the judgment said that all efforts to reconcile the couple had failed.

Akinnniyi said: “Since both parties consented to the dissolution of their marriage, this court has no choice than to dissolve the marriage.

“The court hereby pronounces the marriage between Florence Anyasi and Stanley Anyasi dissolved today.

“Both of you henceforth cease to be husband and wife, each of you should go on his or her separate ways unmolested.

“The court wishes both of you well in your new journey of life.

“The court grants the custody of the children, age 10, 8, 6 respectively to their mother, the petitioner, pending when they attain the age of 18 years to decide who to stay with.

“The respondent must be responsible for the children’s school fees, medical bills and must be paying N15,000 monthly for the children’s feeding which must be channeled through the court.”

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Stanley was dragged to the court by his wife accusing him of being a chronic womaniser.
The 36-year-old trader 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.
