My wife has a caustic tongue, man seeking divorce tells court
A man, Kasali, has approached Grade A Customary Court, Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, asking it to end the relationship between him and his estranged wife, Kafayat, on the accounts of lack of love, verbal assault and constant fight.
Kasali stated that his marriage to Kafayat had hit the rock.
The plaintiff stated that the defendant had a caustic tongue and was in the habit of raining curses on him.
Kasali, in his divorce suit, also sought custody of two of their children with Kafayat, whom he stated are male and therefore needed to be groomed to be responsible men in the nearest future.
Kafayat agreed to divorce but refused that Kasali has custody of the said children.
The defendant explained that she had always being responsible for the welfare of their children, most especially in the area of their education.
She added that her husband rented a room for their two children in his custody who are teenagers thus exposing them to the vices in their community, because his first wife refused that they lived with her in his house.
Kasali, in his testimony, said, “My lord, my wife has made my life miserable.
“All I pray for is to be disengaged from our union because I no longer love her.
“Kafayat has a caustic tongue and has consistently rained curses on me.
“No man going about with such curses can ever make it in life.
“I do not want to wait till my wife ruins my life completely.
“She has made peace to desert me because of her constant fight.
“My wife will come to my house, shout on me, and turn the whole place upside down.
“Kafayat will then jump at me, hitting and punching me.

“She has turned me to a source of ridicule in the presence of our neighbours and in the neighbourhood.
“I beg the court to grant me custody of our children under her care because she is not a good example to them and would lead them astray.”
Kafayat in her response said, “I agree to divorce. There is no point hanging on to a man of no worth.
“My lord, I plead with the court to rule that the two children my husband mentioned remain with me.
“I have always been responsible for the welfare of our four children.
“He has two of them with him, while the younger two are with me.
“My husband carries out no responsibility on our children.
“He would not pay their school fees nor buy them text books unless I sent money from Saudi Arabia where I was working.
“I am solely responsible for their feeding, education, and other necessary needs.
“My husband to my chagrin rented a room for our teenage children and left them there by themselves.
“According to him, his first wife refused that he brought them into his house
“He exposed our children to the vices in their community, and they are now almost getting out of hand.

“He once handed one of our children over to a female leader in his church, who treated our child like a slave and hampered his education.
“I fought tooth and nail before he took him away from his spiritual mother.
“My lord, it is obvious that my husband has failed in his duty towards me and our children.
“I appeal to the court to grant me custody of all our children so as to give them proper attention.
Ruling, the court president, Mrs S.M Akintayo, dissolved their wedlock.
According to her, the defendant readily acceded to divorce.
Akintayo stated that it was highly unconventional for a caring and rational father to rent an apartment for his underage children and leave them there to live by themselves, taking into consideration the security imbalances in the country and the exposure to youth delinquency.
She stated that the court had no option but to release the children to the parent willing and capable of providing them adequate care and maximum security.
Akintayo thus granted the defendant custody of their four children while the plaintiff was allowed access to them.

200,000 repentant terrorists surrender, drop arms in North East – CDS
The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has disclosed that about 200,000 repentant terrorists have so far dropped their arms and surrendered to troops in the North East, noting that the twin strategy of kinetic and non-kinetic operations was responsible for this achievement.
The CDS made this known at the Security and Justice Symposium organised by the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA) in collaboration with the British High Commission, which began at the National Counterterrorism Centre in Abuja on Tuesday.
He disclosed that the theme of the symposium, ”Securing Peace, Ensuring Justice, Protection, Conduct, and Accountability,” speaks volumes about the deluge of security challenges the armed forces and security agencies are facing.
His words, “All the challenges we are facing today have to do with fairness, equity, justice, and accountability.
“There will not be peace without justice, equity, fairness, and accountability. In our operations, we are conducting both kinetic and non-kinetic strategies, which have to a large extent yielded significant successes, and we want to particularly thank the National Security Adviser for his great support in this regard.
“Nigeria is going through so many challenges, and we feel we’re able to address this, and everybody has a sense of belonging. A lot of the security challenges we are having, we are sure, will go down. I want to thank the National Security Advisor for all the support he’s given us, both the kinetic and the non-kinetic.
“We have said it; the kinetic aspect is just less than 30%. The non-kinetic has a lot to play. The non-kinetic, because when you have democracy, people must have the evidence of democracy. As long as it tells people to sleep well and be peaceful, and they are hungry, their children cannot eat, and all this creates more problems.
