The petitioner, 35, a resident of No 62, Ogbontuntun Street, Oraye, Ise-Ekiti, stated that his wife was fond of leaving the house at will, cursing him and starving him of his meals. He said her stubbornness often generated into fights between them. He narrated an occasion he came back from work and did not meet her, and when he called her on her phone to come back home, though she replied she would, didn’t come back until the third day. He added that on her arrival, rather than be remorseful, Funke started cursing him, slapped him and inflicted injuries on his body as she roughened him up. He alleged there were other occasions Funke beat him with dangerous objects like pestle and wood, and also threatened him with a knife. He accused his wife of promiscuity, saying he once caught her feeding another man. The petitioner, therefore, prayed the court to dissolve the union and award him custody of the three children their marriage produced. The court noted that the respondent had shunned appearance throughout the proceedings though she was served hearing notice twice. The president of the court, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, observed that the marriage had broken down irretrievably and consequently dissolved it.
