Tajudeen, a refrigerator technician, had approached the court to put an end to the 25-year-old marriage on the grounds that his estranged wife constantly beat him up and attacked him with broken bottles and machetes, which had at different times caused him serious bodily injuries. He also accused Toyosi of been cold-hearted.

Toyosi, who admitted beating her husband, however, blamed the incident on the perpetual failure of Tajudeen to provide the family's basic needs despite her entreaties on several occasions.

Toyosi said, "Instead of catering for the basic needs of the family, he spends his money on alcohol and on his numerous girlfriends. He has even stopped paying house rents. He currently owes a six-month rent arrears. He has also stopped paying utility bills. He keeps late nights and comes home drunk.

"Besides, he is a woman freak and values his girlfriends than the children and me. As if that was not enough, he has started dating a young woman opposite the house where we live. He rented an apartment for her while he refused to cater for our well-being at home. I beat him whenever we quarrelled."

Toyosi prayed the court to disregard the prayer of his estranged husband, stressing that he still loved him and was not ready to part ways with him.

Tajudeen however told the court that he was no longer interested in the marraige that had produced three children.

He said, "I have lived with this dangerous woman for 25 years and I cannot continue to endanger my life. My mind is made up. She has always accused me of keeping numerous girlfriends but has she caught me pants down with anyone of them? I had never raised up my hands against her since we got married."

The husband accused the wife of always insulting him on the slightest provocation, while attacking him with weapons anytime they had a fight.

"Last week Tuesday, she attacked me with a sharp object and I have since left home so that she would not take my life for no just cause," Tajudeen said.

The President of the court, Mrs. Modupe Bajulaiye, directed the estranged couple to arrange a meeting with their respective families for a possible reconciliation before the next adjourned date.

Bajulaiye however ordered the couple not to do anything that would in anyway undermine public peace and urged them to be of good behaviour during the period of exhausting the possibilities of out-of-court -settlement.

She subsequently adjourned the case till July 20 for further hearing.
