A 12-year old marriage was dissolved by an Igando Customary Court in Lagos on Thursday. The marriage between a certain Francis Stephen,45, and his wife, Ogechi,36, came to a end after he impregnated his wife's sister.
The President of the Court, Mr Adegboye Omilola, said:
“Since the petitioner insisted on divorce after several interventions, the court has no choice than to dissolve the union in spite of the fact that the husband still claims he loves his wife.
“The court pronounced the marriage between Mrs Ogechi Stephen and Mr Francis Stephen dissolved today; both parties henceforth, cease to be husband and wife.
“Both parties are free to go their separate ways without any hindrances or molestation,” the president said.
