An
embattled lady prayed an Orile-Agege Customary Court in Lagos to
dissolve her 27-year-old marriage to a pastor over the man’s alleged
plan to use her for ritual purposes.
A
fifty-two-year-old trader, Roseline Seseboh, told the court on November
26, 2013, Tuesday that she had packed out of her matrimonial home
because of the alleged plan.
She added that her husband, Oluwalomo, was desperate to be wealthy and would not mind to sacrifice any of his family members.
“My stomach became swollen as if I was pregnant with twins.
I carried this shame for months until I consulted some elders. It was
then I was told that my husband wanted to use me for a ritual and that
he would carry out this plan through sexual intercourse with me,” she said.
Roseline,
who resides Anjorin Street, Iju-Ishaga, Lagos, submitted that she left
her matrimonial home at midnight when Oluwalomo attempted to force her
to have sexual intercourse with him in an attempt to carry
out the plan.
“My husband is evil; he can use our children for rituals if he cannot get me. He is desperate to make money. I want the custody of my children,” Roseline, a mother of seven, said.
Oluwalomo denied the allegations but consented to the dissolution of the union.
“Roseline is blackmailing me because she found another man’s arm to fall on. She is adulterous and wicked. My wife was punished in our church when she was caught on another man’s bed,” the husband said.
Mr.
Adegboyega Omilola, the Court President, ordered the couple to maintain
the peace, and adjourned the case till December 9 for judgment.
