An 11-year-old marriage has been nullified because the
wife had sexual affairs with men she met on social
media.
The 11-year-old marriage between an Ado Ekiti, Ekiti
State based businessman, Muyiwa Owolabi and his
wife, Tinuola, has been nullified by a Customary
Court sitting in the state capital following allegations
that the woman was involved in adultery » with men
she met on the social media platform, Facebook.
According to a report in Vanguard, Owolabi had prayed
the court to separate him from his wife because she
was a serial adulteress who saw nothing wrong in
sleeping around withg men, something that caused
turbulence in the marriage which produced two
children.
He also accused Tinuola of using Facebook and
WhatsApp to connect with different men with whom she
had sexual affairs. To back up his accusation, Owolabi
tendered computer generated evidences of her
conversation with her lovers in court.
He showed the court text message communications she
had with the men as well as printout of pictures of the
men in question.
But his wife vehemently denied having any love
relationships with the men, telling the court that her
husband was in the habit of beating her up at the
slightest provocation and starving her anytime he was
angry.
She also urged the court to dissolve the union as she
was also fed up.
In delivering his judgment, the president of the court,
Joseph Ogunsemi, held that it was clear from the
available evidence before the jury that both parties are
living apart, and that the union has broken down
irretrievably.
He duly nullified the marriage and granted custody of
the two kids to Owolabi.
