A Chartered Accountant, Sola Andrew, has
told a Nyanya customary court in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory,
that her marriage to Eze had bought her nothing but shame and sorrow.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN), Sola made this known when she testified in a divorce petition she
filed against Eze.
“Since I married my husband, it’s been one issue of shame or the other.
“Worst of all was that my husband was caught in a shameful act of adu1tery with another man’s wife in her matrimonial home.
“He was beaten severely, his leg was
broken and he could not get out of the house for about 10 months; the
cost of getting him on his feet was solely borne by me.
“My husband had no money with which to treat himself neither did his family render any assistance at anytime.
“As a result of the adu1terous act, he was arrested and arraigned by the police in a court.
“I took a loan from my workplace to bail
my husband and settle the case out of court; this brought upon me shame
and regret and impugned my reputation and integrity,” she said.
The petitioner also said that she was
shocked when she found out that her husband was married to two other
women who already had children for him.
“My husband never told me that he was
married to any woman; it was a rude shock for me to hear that he was
married to not just a wife, but two wives and children.
“It’s just dawned on me that he was using all my hard-earned salaries to take care of his wives and children.
“Marriage to my husband has brought me
nothing but shame and sorrow; I beg this honourable court to grant me
divorce and tell my husband to return the car and lands I bought which
are in his possession,” she said.
Eze, a businessman, who was present in
court, denied most of the allegations and begged the court not to
dissolve the marriage, saying that he still loves his wife.
President of the court, Everyman Eleanya, adjourned further hearing in the case till June 8.
