My father-in-law asked me to quit 15-year marriage, be his lover – Akure lady

Oluwatoyin told the court: “The love is gone. I want custody of my children to give them a proper upbringing,” she pleaded.

‘She is wayward’

While responding, Ayodeji denied the allegations.

Ayodeji described the wife as wayward adding that she prioritised her business and relationships over their family.

According to him “my wife left our home and rented an apartment. I tried to reconcile with her, but she refused unless I refunded the rent she paid to the new landlord.

“I managed to pay ₦15,000 out of the ₦20,000 she requested, but she still refused to return. I can’t live without her.

“All she cares about is her business and her relationships with other men.”

The court’s president, Magistrate Abiodun Obademi, urged the couple to  reconsider their decision for the sake of their children and for peace to reign in the family

Magistrate Obademi thereafter adjourned further hearing to January 28.
