Mrs. Doris Oseni,42, told a Customary Court in Ondo town, Ondo State,
that she caught her husband of 12 years, Prophet Femi Oseni, on the
floor of the church office, having sex with another woman who is also an
evangelist in the church, hence asked the court for the dissolution of
their marriage on the grounds of adultery.
The plaintiff said her husband’s behaviour towards her changed after 7
years of their marriage with no child, adding that the defendant had
been sleeping around with different women, most of whom were their
church members.
She said:
“Recently, after several days of abandoning me, I traced my husband to
his church in a village not far from Ondo town. On getting there, I met
him on the floor of the church office with one of the women in the
church. They were having sex.”
She said she had reported her husband’s adulterous behaviour to his mother, but he still didn't change.
She stated that she was fed up with the marriage and wanted it to end.
Doris also accused the husband of having a child outside their marriage.
However, her Husband Mr. Oseni, 45, pleaded with the court not to
dissolve the marriage with his wife, saying he still loved her. He
described her as a virtuous woman that had been taking care of him since
he married her.
In his ruling, Justice Joshua Adunbi, said the words and body language
of the wife had shown that she was tired of the union. He therefore
ordered the dissolution of the marriage . Adunbi added that both parties
were free to re-marry any person of their choice and ordered the
petitioner to pay the sum of N2,500 to the respondent as a refund of
dowry. He said anyone of the parties that was not satisfied with the
decision of the court could appeal the ruling within 30 days.
