Retiree threatens suicide if court fails to dissolve marriage

A 64-year old retired civil servant, Amos Akinlolu, has begged Grade ‘A’ Customary Court sitting at Mapo, Ibadan, to dissolve his 30-year-old marriage with his wife, Funmilayo, saying his wife has become a public ‘tap water’, all men drink.
 
He told the court that his wife was an unrepentant adulterer, asking the court to separate him and the estranged wife.
     
The retiree said he would commit suicide if the court rejects his request, lamenting that life had become miserable, since he noticed his wife’s infidelity.
     
Akinlolu, who went down on his knees, begged the court: “My lord, peace has eluded my family, since Funmilayo started making herself a public tap, where all men fetch water.   
  

The President of the court, Mrs. Imoleayo Akinrodoye, in her ruling, dissolved the marriage in the interest of peace.
