A 59-year-old surveyor, Adeoye Akintoye, on Monday begged a Customary Court in Igando, Lagos to dissolve his marriage to Modupe, on the grounds that she threatened to kill his first wife and children.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we met, I told her I had a wife and four children, along the line, she got pregnant for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe threatened to kill herself if I refused to marry. Initially, Modupe wanted me to divorce my first wife so that she can be the only wife but when I refused. She swore to kill her and the children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He accused his wife of being mischievous.<\/p>\n
\u201dShe came to my church with her child and introduced herself as my wife. I warned her not to. Because I did not want my church to know that I had a second wife because I am a deacon and a chorister.<\/p>\n
\u201dMy church is against polygamy. I will be severely punish now that Modupe has exposed me,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Responding to the allegations, the 36-year-old trader, Modupe, accused her husband of infidelity.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve caught him in bed with his other lovers. He starved me of sex and turned me to a punching bag,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Court President, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the case until Feb. 10, for further hearing<\/p>\n
