Woman Turns Husband Into Punching Bag

A 50-year-old estate agent, Gbenga Ayeni, has approached an Agege Customary Court for the dissolution of the marriage with his wife, Moyosore, over alleged frequent physical attacks on him.


Ayeni pleaded with the court to dissolve the four-year-old union after accusing his wife, a hairdresser, of being responsible for his misfortune in life. The estate agent claimed that since he started living with Moyosore, he had had no rest of mind because she always fought him with broken bottles and other dangerous weapons any time they had misunderstandings.

He said there was a particular day she stripped herself when she fought with him and in the process, tore his clothes with the broken bottle she had in her hand. He told the court further that such repeated actions had made him to be fed up with the relationship and thus prayed the court to dissolve the marriage.

In her defence, the hairdresser said they were not legally married but her estate agent husband conned her into living with him as husband and wife. She said Ayeni borrowed some money from her, years back, to pay for his house rent, but when she needed her money to pay her own house rent, he could not pay her and in the process, she was sent packing by her landlord because she could not meet the deadline given to her.

She said Ayeni asked her to move into his house and that was how they started living together as husband and wife. The hairdresser further said that it was while living with Ayeni that she got pregnant and later bore him a male child, who is now one year old.

Moyosore added that she was surprised Ayeni wanted her out of his house after her money was used to rent the apartment in which they both lived, and impregnating her. Delivering his judgment, the presiding judge said since both agreed that the child was theirs, then, Ayeni should take the responsibility of the child’s upkeep. In addition, he was asked to get another rented apartment for Moyosore, for peace to reign.
