A 43-year-old mother of three on Tuesday, April 19, 2016 approached an Igando Customary Court, Lagos State seeking a dissolution of her marriage to her husband, Solomon Acchoyame, over alleged unusual behaviour during sex.
The petitioner, Omolara Acchoyame, further alleged that her husband usually used hot ointments as lubricants during sex.
Acchoyame, a housewife told the court that her 44-year-old husband usually waited for her to sleep before he would have sex with her without waking her.
She said: “My husband has three hot ointments which he used during sex for lubrication including Aboniki balm, Mentholatum, and dusting powder.
“These things made me hate having sex with him.
“I met my husband 14 years ago and bore him three children and apart from his torturous sexual escapade, our major quarrel has been based on the fact that I didn’t know what he does for a living.
“We fought most times before I left home because I don’t know what he does for a living.
“He goes to his village three times a week and I don’t know the reason for this since his parents are dead and when he comes back, he would say he does not have any money.
“I would go to my sister to borrow money for him for his next trip. Yet, he will come back and curse me and my family and he doesn’t come home until midnight.
“My husband does nothing for a living. Please dissolve the marriage so that I can start my life all over again.”
Acchoyame, in his defense, stated that when he met his wife at the University College Hospital, UCH, in Ibadan, things were going on well for him and it was with his money that he trained her in the university.
“After a while, I started experiencing financial difficulties and I couldn’t complete my own education.
“I want to perform my obligations as a father and husband, but I am handicapped,” he said, denying claims that he ever tortured her during sex using those ‘hot’ balms.
After listening to both parties, the court preside, Omilola adjourned the case until Thursday, April 21, 2016 for further hearing.
