A lecturer at the Federal Polytechnic Offa, Kwara State, Mr. Aderemi Bankole, has urged an Osun State High Court sitting in Ede to dissolve his marriage after accusing his wife of infidelity.
He alleged that his wife was dating the Rector of the school.
He sought the dissolution of the marriage through a petition to the Osun State High Court, Ede, with the number HED/25D/2021.
In the petition, Bankole accused his wife Adebukunola of cruelty, promiscuity, infidelity, and waywardness among others.
The petition, which was submitted to the court by his counsel, Hashim Abioye has as defendants, his wife, the said Rector and one Oluwole.
While stressing that he and his wife have continuously lived apart for two years, Bankole noted that they were legally joined in the Marriage Registry at Amuwo Odofin, FESTAC Town, Lagos, before they relocated to Ijagbo via Offa, Kwara State.
He said “the union is blessed with three children aged 18, 16 and 9.”
“Since the marriage, my wife has been behaving in such a way that I can’t reasonably be expected to live with her because she continuously had illicit affairs, committed adultery with the Rector, to the extent of it becoming scandalous and also a subject of social media discourse.
“My wife made an illegal and unauthorised trip to London for six months without my consent facilitated by a former and she was harboured by Sunday and Sodipo.
“When she was illegally harboured, it later resulted in the premature birth; she was pregnant at the said period.
“While in London and in Nigeria she, engaged in illicit and immoral relationships with some colleagues.
“I plead with the court to dissolve our marriage and the court should grant me the custody of our two children,” the lecturer submitted to prove his case for divorce.
