Funmilayo Adedeji, a mother of two has accused her husband, Emmanuel Adedeji of using their son for money ritual.
Speaking at Igando customary court, the wife, Funmilayo said she is not sure about the source of sudden wealth of her husband.
She said, “he started showing signs of prosperity immediately we gave birth to the boy. My husband’s wealth became noticeable and started booming after the birth of our baby.
“Our son is now 12 years old, but he can neither walk nor talk.”
The husband, Adedeji, who had approached the court seeking an end to their 16-year-old marriage over defamation of his character by his wife denied using his son for money rituals.
He said, “My wife won’t stop accusing me of using my physically challenged son for money ritual. It is God that has blessed me with wealth; I never used my son for any ritual,” he said.
Adedeji said that his wife was also ‘good at fighting,’ claiming she had the habit of beating him in public.
Apart from the beating, Adedeji also claimed that curses from his wife were beginning to affect his life and business negatively.
The marriage was eventual dissolved.
The magistrate, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, while giving his judgement said, “Since the petitioner insisted on a divorce after several interventions, the court has no choice but to dissolve the union in spite of the fact that the wife still claims she loves her husband.
“The court hereby pronounces the marriage between Emmanuel Adedeji and Funmilayo Adedeji dissolved today; both parties, henceforth, cease to be husband and wife.”
