Mrs Doris Oseni has told a Customary Court in Ondo town that she caught her husband of 12 years, Prophet Femi Oseni on the floor of the church office, having sex with another woman.
The 42-year-old woman who is also an Evangelist has consequently asked the court to dissolve the marriage on the grounds of adultery, desertion and lack of love on the part of the husband.
She told the court that her husband’s behaviour towards her changed after seven years of their marriage with no child, adding that since then, the defendant had been sleeping around with different women, most of whom were their church members.
She added that after several days of abandoning her, she traced her husband to his church in a village not far from Ondo town. On getting there, she met her husband on the floor of the church office with one of the women in the church having sexual relationship .
She said she reported her husband’s strange behaviour to his mother but could not be stopped from his adulterous acts, saying she was fed up with the relationship. She prayed the court to separate them.
Doris also accused her husband of having a child out of wedlock, saying the child is a product of his extra marital affairs.
However, 45-year-old Oseni pleaded with the court not to dissolve the marriage, saying he still loves the woman, whom he described as a virtuous woman that had been taking care of him since he married her.
In his ruling, the President of the Court, Joshua Adunbi said the words and body language of the wife had shown that she was tired of the union, therefore ordered for the dissolution of the marriage .
On that note, Adunbi added that both parties were free to remarry any person of their choice and ordered the petitioner to pay the sum of N2,500 to the respondent as a refund of dowry.
He however noted that anyone of them who is not satisfied with the decision of the court could appeal the ruling within 30 days.
