A 50-year old retired civil servant, Mr. Chibuzo Obiedefu has told a Customary Court sitting in Igando, Lagos, that his wife, Philomena, who he has been married to for seven years starves him of sex and even asks for payment whenever she decides to have sex with him.
Vanguard reports that he also accuses her of cheating on him with an unnamed policeman, asking the court to dissolve the marriage.
He said: “My wife is always starving me of sex and if she will allow me, she will ask me to pay for it. And if I refused to give her money and demand to sleep with her by force, she would hit me with any dangerous weapon she could lay her hands on. Philomena is cheating on me; she is having an affair with a policeman and whenever I caution her, she will flare up.
“My wife is telling my children not to come close to me because I am a bad man. My children now distance themselves from me and I am now like a stranger to them,” Obiedefu added.
In her defence the 40-year old Philomena said: “My husband has sex with me anytime he feels like and I only demanded for feeding money from him. The policeman is only a friend; no strings attached.”
The mother of four prayed for the court to deny her husbands plea as she was still in love with him.
The President of the court, Mr. Rufus Adeyeri, adjourned the case until Wednesday, January 21, 2014.
