Court Dissolves Toke Makinwa’s Marriage . by bkool7(m): 3:29am On Oct 06, 2017
Toke Makinwa and Maje Ayida
The three-year-old marriage between a popular
radio presenter, Omotoke Makinwa and her
estranged husband, Maje Ayida has hit the rocks.
An Igbosere High Court in Lagos on Thursday
dissolved the union.
Makinwa, is the co-host of the ‘Morning Drive’ on Rhythm 93.7FM, a blogger and an author.
She had on March 9, 2016, asked the court to
dissolve the marriage on the grounds that the
husband committed adultery.

Justice Morenike Obadina, while delivering
judgment held that Ayida filed an answer to the petition but did not give oral evidence in support of it.
She said the position of the law was settled as
pleadings did not amount to evidence.
“Pleadings on which no evidence was led are
deemed abandoned. Therefore, Ayida’s evidence is deemed abandoned.
“The effect being that the petitioner’s evidence is unchallenged and uncontroverted,’’ she ruled.
The judge said the issue of cruelty which the
petitioner (Makinwa) relied on was established
because of the “mental and emotional stress” she was subjected to by her husband.
He said Makinwa had sufficiently proven that the husband committed adultery and continued to flaunt his adulterous relationships even to her face.
“I hold that the marriage has broken down on
grounds of intolerable behaviour.
“I hereby pronounce a `Decree Nisi’ dissolving the marriage between Makinwa and Ayida which was administered at the Federal Marriage Registry, Ikoyi, Lagos, on Jan. 15, 2014.
“The order Nisi shall become absolute three
months from today unless within that period
sufficient cause is shown why it should not be
made absolute,” Obadina said.

Makinwa had told the court that her husband
committed adultery with his mistress, Anita
Solomon, adding that the relationship produced a
child.
She said since their marriage was contracted, the husband had “behaved in a way she could not reasonably be expected to continue to bear.
She also said the husband was cruel towards her, adding that their differences became
irreconcilable.

During the trial, the petitioner (Makinwa ) testified in court and tendered some documents including their marriage certificate which were admitted in evidence.

In her testimony, she said that after their
marriage was contracted in 2014, cohabitation
with her husband ceased on Nov. 8, 2015,
without any child from the marriage.

She also told the court of an instance where her husband threatened separation and even drafted a separation agreement because she discovered that he bought a ticket for his mistress to travel to London.

The first respondent (Ayida) who replied to the
petition when served, however, instructed his
counsel, Mr T. O. Lawal, not to continue with the
defence. Ayida through his counsel, therefore, foreclosed all evidence.
The mistress (Solomon), who is the second
respondent, refused to join issue with the practisioner.
