News: Court dissolves marriage over husband’s night crawling

An Ilorin Area Court on Friday dissolved a four-year-old marriage between Toibat Yahaya and her estranged husband, Muftau, over the man’s constant night crawling habit.

Toibat, 31, a resident of Amilegbe Area, Ilorin, had prayed the court to dissolve her marriage to Muftau, for keeping late night.

The petitioner told the court that her husband was fond of coming home late at night, as well as vomiting alcohol.
”My husband will at times come back home around 11.45 p.m., not minding he has a family at home,” she said.
According to her, the marriage was contracted in 2009 and had produced one male child.

”My Lord, I want an end to this marriage because I cannot cope with his lifestyle anymore”.

The respondent, Muftau, did not object to the plea of his wife, saying she was free to go and try other places.

”My wife wants me to remain indoor with her everyday, which am not used to,” he said.

He urged the court to grant the prayer of his wife without any claim.

The Presiding Judge, Mr Ibrahim Abdulquadri, dissolved the marriage and issued a certificate of divorce to the plaintiff.
