An Ile-Ife Customary Court in Osun, on Wednesday dissolved a marriage contacted 29 years ago between Bolatito and Ismaila Jinadu, over lack of care and threat to life.
The President of the court, Mr. Gani Awoyera, said he took the decision to dissolve the union, as efforts to settle the couple amicably had failed.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Awoyera dissolved the union and directed that four of the children should remain with the plaintiff while the last child should be in the custody of the defendant.
Bolatito had on September 14, dragged her husband before the court for abandoning her and their five children.
The children are – Monsurat (26); Fasilat (22); Semiu (19); Sarafadeen (16) and Ismael, 13.
She accused her husband of uncooperative attitude, constant beating, lack of care, public harassment and threat to life after three years of desertion.
Ismaila, however, denied all the allegations against him, saying the woman was only seeking for an excuse to opt out of the marriage.
