A housewife, Mrs. Janet Unwah, told  an Orile Agege Customary Court that her husband, Mr. Augustine Unwah abandoned  home after he had sex with their first daughter who was in her tender age. The mother of five, who claimed to have caught her husband pants
down, informed the court that Augustine was a drunkard and that whenever he was  drunk, he  would beat  her mercilessly at  the slightest provocation.

Janet said that the husband  ran away from home initially only to come back to  beg her for forgiveness. She added that they  no longer lived  as husband and wife, and that  he had  stopped giving her money for  the upkeep of the children.

She therefore urged the court to dissolve the marriage and grant her custody of the children. Though Augustine admitted to being a drunkard,  he quickly said  Janet  was a  beer  drinker too. He claimed that he did everything  to provide food for his children, but his wife didn‘t appreciate it.

The 47-year-old man therefore pleaded that the court should not dissolve the marriage, because he was ready to save his marriage. Meanwhile, the court president, Mr. J. O. Adewusi, adjourned the case for further hearing. Vanguard
