A businesswoman, Mary Paul, on Friday dragged her husband, Anthony Paul, before a Jikwoyi Customary Court in Abuja for not providing for the family.
The Petitioner, a resident of Jikwoyi, said this in the divorce petition she filed against her husband before the court.
Paul said: “Since I married my husband, he has been in the habit of not providing for the family.
“I have been the one providing for myself and the children.”
She told the court that he had refused to pay the children’s school fees.
She told the court that her husband makes a lot of money from dry cleaning but spent it all on frivolities.
The petitioner begged the court to dissolve the marriage and grant her custody of the children.
Paul told the court that her husband lacked all qualities of a good father, saying she could not continue to live with him or let him have the children.
The respondent, a laundry man, who was present in court, denied the allegation and begged the court to grant him custody of the children.
The Presiding Judge, Labaran Gusau, adjourned the matter till August 31, 2022 for further hearing.
