A 39-year-old school proprietor, Hassana Yusuf
on Thursday told an Igando Customary Court
that her husband, Adisa, once entered her
mother’s room stark naked.
“He was naked in front of our children and went
to meet my mum in her room stark naked. My
mother had to cover her eyes", the frustrated
wife alleged
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
the complainant in the case is seeking the
dissolution of her 11-year old marriage to Adisa
Yusuf.
At the resumed hearing of the case on
Thursday, Hassana accused her estranged
husband of battering, lack of care for her and
her children, threat to life, blackmail and
absence of love.
“When our third born was sick, he wanted to go
out and I refused to allow him. I said that our
child must not die, but the next thing I saw was
that he stripped himself naked.
“He was naked in front of our children and went
to meet my mum in her room stark naked. My
mother had to cover her eyes.
“If I agree to keep providing for the family,
there won’t be any problem, provided he would
be nice to me and the children
But since I have refused to keep shouldering his
responsibilities, he became a demon.
“He said he will kill me and take over what we
both laboured for; he boasts that nobody will
question him,’’ she said.
The complainant also told the court that her
husband was in the habit of accusing her of
infidelity.
“My husband is suspicious of my moves; every
man I talk to is my boyfriend. He has no trust,
whatsoever, in me.
“ There was a day we fought and he hit me with
a nail on my head,’’ she said.
Hassana also said that her husband does not
show her any care during pregnancy.
“I have nursed every pregnancy myself, as if I
impregnated myself. I do the naming ceremony
myself. It is only our second daughter that he
footed her bill.
“On more than three occasions in 2012, he
abandoned me and the children. He once left
the house for a year,’’ she said.
The respondent, however, denied all the
allegations.
“I had to show my mother-in-law what her
daughter normally does to me whenever I tell
her there is no money. She usually stripes me
naked.
“That was why I went to her room naked.
“I earn N30, 000 every month and I give her
everything. Does that not show my love for her
and the children?’’ he told the court.
Adisa accused his wife of unfaithfulness.
“She has so many boyfriends, I have evidence
to show that she is unfaithful, my fellow
landlords are her boyfriends.’’
The respondent said that he doubts the
paternity of their last child.
NAN reports that the union which was
consummated in 2003, , is blessed with four
children.
The court President, Adegboyega Omilola,
ordered the couple to attend another
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) meeting
on March 3.
The case was then adjourned to June 28, for
judgment.
