My Husband Runs Away From Having Sexual Intercourse With Me: Wife

•Sex Starvation: Wife seeks divorce in court
•I once caught her red-handed with her lover on
our matrimonial bed... Husband
A middle-aged woman, Latifat Adeleke, has asked
a Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan, to dissolve
her marriage with Adetola Adeleke, over alleged
sexual starvation.

Latifat, a trader and mother of two, on
Wednesday asked the court to end the nine-year-
old marriage after declaring that she was "totally
fed up."
In her petition to the court, Latifat alleged that
Adeleke, a spare parts dealer, aside from
neglecting his traditional responsibilities of
catering for her and the two children, had no time
for her.
"Adeleke has over three to four years now, failed
in his responsibilities as a husband towards me
and as a father to his two children.
"The worst of all, my Lord, is that he has kept
away from having sexual intercourse with me
which greatly saddens my heart.
"We no longer stay together and the bond of love
between us has disappeared," Latifat declared.
Adeleke, who denied all the allegations levelled
against him by his wife, however told the court
that he was happy to part ways with Latifat.
He alleged that his wife was adulterous,
extravagant and a party enthusiast.
"My lord, this year alone, Latifat has dubiously
obtained close to N300, 000 from me in the name
of celebrating birthday for our children.
"I once caught her red-handed with her lover on
our matrimonial bed.
"When I asked her if what she did was right or
not, there was no remorse, even when it actually
happened on our matrimonial home," he said.
"She has been involved in all manners of
atrocities; this is why I called it all off with her.
"Please, my Lord, I don't want her to take custody
of the eight and six year-old children, because
she doesn't stay around; Latifat keeps going to
parties," Adeleke told the court.
After listening to both parties, the President of the
court, Mr Ademola Odunade, adjourned the
matter till Jan. 27, 2016 and directed both parties
to produce evidence to support their claims
