. It’s not true, we stopped having sex only four years ago – Wife
A 71-year-old man, Mojidi Osho, has approached an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State to request the dissolution of his 47-year-old marriage, claiming his wife had starved him sex for 10 years.
Osho, who is the petitioner in the suit, said his wife with whom he has 10 children suddenly started starving him of sex.
“I’m starving seriously but whenever I come home with my girlfriends, she will chase them away. The last time I had sex with my wife was 10 years ago,” he said.
The septuagenarian also claimed his wife had plans to kill him to take over his property.
“My wife wants to kill me; she had been feeding me with poison. There was a day I fainted and was rushed to the hospital and it was detected that I ate poison. I thought I’ll not survive it but God saved me and I stopped eating her food,” he said.
He added, “My wife keeps attacking me in the spiritual realm. On two occasions, she shot arrows at me in my sleep, which led to sicknesses but God healed me. She also buried charm in my workshop and customers stopped patronising me.
“My wife made me impotent but I later survived it after spending huge amount in the hospital and herbal treatment.
“Tolu makes my life miserable. I would’ve gone far in life if I hadn’t married her. I regret the day I met her and I wish I could turn abck the hand of the clock.’
Osho then prayed the court to dissolve the marriage.
In her response, Osho’s wife, Tolu, 67, said she had only denied her husband sex for four years.
“I stopped him from making love to me four years ago when he started bringing different girls home to sleep with, after which he’ll want to sleep with me; so I refused him,’’ Tolu told the court.
The mother of ten children denied threatening her husband’s life or attempting to kill with poison.
She said, “I haven’t poisoned my husband’s food since 1973 when we got married, is it now that I’ll poison him?
“He’s just looking for excuses to discard me; he came to this Court to divorce his second wife; now he wants to also divorce me so that he can marry a new wife.”
She, however, begged the court not to grant her husband’s prayer for the dissolution of their marriage, saying she still loved him.
President of the court, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the case till February, 18, 2021, for judgment.
