My childhood friend has been sleeping with my wife – Man cries out

A commercial bus driver, Mr Lamidi Adebayo, has asked an Ado-Ekiti Customary Court to dissolve his 28-year-old marriage to his wife, Bose.

Adebayo, 48, is accusing Bose of adultery, drunkenness and dishonesty.

The petitioner, who is a resident of No. 89, Isato Street, Ado-Ekiti, told the court that the couple had not conducted any marital rite, but they have four children.

He also told the court that his neighbours had informed him several times that his wife and one of her friends were “touring the houses of men”, but never believed the information.

According to him, the nature of his job as a driver made it difficult for him to be at home always.

“I was shocked on Nov. 7, 2017 when my childhood friend, named Lateef, a herbalist, invited me to his house, and told me that I should forgive him that ‎he has been having secret affairs with my wife.

“He told me that the respondent informed him that her husband had died long time ago, whereas I’EDm still very much alive,” he said.

Adebayo said he had tried every possible means ‎to stop his wife’s adulterous act and drunkenness but all his efforts proved abortive.

The petitioner, however, urged the court to dissolve the marriage because of her behaviour and dishonesty.

The plea of the woman, however, was not immediately taken.

The ‎President of the Court, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, after hearing the petitioner’s testimony adjourned the case to Feb.15, for further hearing.
