A 40-year-old man, Mr. Maxwell Madu, has told the Agege Grade ‘A’ Customary Court that if his wife, Grace Oguche, 24, divorces him, she may die.
4f779251a74ae1b7884bc9f98548033f-300x180Madu said on Monday that his wife had taken an oath of kolanut and water with him in her village. He explained that the oath demanded total loyalty to him.
He added that if the woman defaulted, she might lose her life.
He told the court that Oguche took the oath in the presence of her family members in the village.
He said, “I did not know that my wife was having an extra-marital affair, and she was already pregnant for her boyfriend although, she had a miscarriage.
“She cheated even though she had taken an oath that she would never leave me. She took the oath in the presence of her people because she had run away from me in the past.
“She had gone to the village to find a way to break the oath, but they told her it could not be broken except I was present.
“She is playing with her life.”
Oguche had earlier pleaded with the court to dissolve her union with her husband, because he could no longer perform in bed.
