A Nigerian customary court based in Ojo, a suburb of Lagos will decide
22 May whether to grant a divorce request by a couple, over accusations
of adultery.
Forty-three year-old man, Mr Peter Ekundayo asked
the Grade ‘A’ Customary Court, Ojo to dissolve his marriage after
confirming his wife’s adulterous act by hacking into her phone.
“When
I became suspicious of Funmi, my wife, I decided to activate call
monitoring on my wife’s phone through the help of a computer expert. Due
to the call monitoring I activated, whenever my wife got an incoming
call, mine would vibrate and then I just click to listen to her
conversations on my phone. What I discovered almost made me take my
life,” Ekundayo said.
The petitioner, who resides at Ajoke Bodunde Street, Ojo-Igbede, Lagos, has been married to Funmi for two years.
Ekundayo said his wife’s attitude changed since she got a job as sales
representative in a fast food outfit located at Iyana-Isashi area of
Lagos.
“My wife’s attitude has become intolerable for me; she is
always bent on denying me my right of sexual intercourse with her. As
soon as my wife got that job, I noticed that I no longer had any
influence on her. Even sexual matters in our marriage gradually became a
thing of the past,” he said
The petitioner said that he became
suspicious of her activities especially as she usually crept out of bed
at night to receive calls, which initially she never did.
Ekundayo said that he was shocked on one occasion when he heard his
wife’s telephone conversation with their neighbour whom she was
allegedly sleeping with.
“During the conversation on phone,
Funmi and that my neighbour both agreed to meet at a hotel around
Afromedia, near Iyana-Isashi, after she closed from work. I deliberately
did go out of the house that evening so as to monitor when Funmi will
return from work. She returned from work that day at about 10 p.m and
claimed that a truck had fallen on the road which caused much traffic.
I almost took my life when I realised the shameful acts of my wife in the short time we have been married,” Ekundayo said.
He
said that he wanted a divorce because he was still young and did not
want to die from any illness associated Funmi’s alleged sexual
immorality.
Funmi declined to make any comment in response to the allegation levelled against her by the petitioner.
