Man secures divorce as wife demands bribe before sex

Risikat Adegboyega, a mother of four children has lost her sixteen-year-old marriage as an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State granted the request of her husband to dissolve the union because she allegedly demands a bribe before sex.

The court president, Adeniyi Koledoye, held on Thursday 11th of July, 2019 that since the petitioner insisted on divorce in spite of interventions, the court is left with no option other than to grant his wish.

“The court hereby dissolves the marriage between Pastor Abayomi Adegboyega and Mrs Risikat Adegboyega; you henceforth cease to be husband and wife.
He continued, “each of you should go his or her separate ways unmolested. The court wishes both of you well in your future endeavours.
“The custody of the first and third children of the marriage are awarded to the petitioner while that of the second and fourth children are awarded to the respondent, their mother.
“The petitioner must be paying N10,000 (ten thousand naira only) monthly for the feeding of the two children in the woman’s custody and must be responsible for their education and general welfare,” he held.
Mr Koledoye also ordered that the petitioner should pay N200,000 to the woman for her to move on with her life.
It was reported that the 48-year-old, Adegboyegahad sought divorce on grounds that his wife demands `bribe’ from him before sex.
“My wife starves me of sex, she will never allow me to sleep with her unless I give her money or buy her a gift,” he had told the court.
He vowed to kill himself if the court would not dissolve the union which produced four children.
“Risikat should never come near me, I do not want to have anything to do with her again.
“She is irritating me, I will kill myself if the loveless marriage is not dissolved,” he said.
The embittered husband also alleged that his wife cooked his food late and tarnished his image in public.
“My wife wants my ministry to collapse, she defames my character before my members and others; people who want to help me refuse because of what they hear from her,” he said.
She prayed the court not to dissolve the union, saying that she still loved him in spite of his misbehavior.
