Audience at a Grade A Customary Court sitting in Owo, were amazed on Monday,  when a 29-year-old hairdresser,  Mrs Taye Ogunbodede,  told the court how her husband used his phone to record them during sex.

 The petitioner,  Taye had approached  the court and sought for the dissolution of her 12-year -old marriage with her husband,  Mr Wande Ogunbodede.

She claimed  her estranged husband beat her constantly, while he used to threaten her life and does not care for the family.

According  to her,  the man was found of checking her phone  all the time to ascertain who called her, after which he would accuse her of infidelity.

“Each time my husband demands for sex and I refused, he would  beat a hell out of me. He would use objects like pestle and cable wire to beat me.

“One  day, we fought because of sex. And I declined having sex with him because I saw used condom in our sitting room, which made me to suspect him.

“There was a time my husband  and I, were having sex. Unknown  to me,  my husband was using his phone  to record  and   I asked why he was doing  that.

“He  lied to me that he was only watching sex film, so he could  be more active in bed.

In his defence, the 31-year-old  bricklayer,  Ogunbodede did not deny  the allegations.

The respondent who  explained his own side to the court, alleged his wife of being  promiscuous.

He accused her of always receiving strange calls,  which  led  to their frequent fights.

He told the court that they used to fight virtually everyday, pointing accusing fingers at his wife whom he said  he had reported to her mother, with no positive response.

The respondent admitted threatening, saying, “This happened when I discovered my wife used to chat with another man on whatsapp. She does not have time for me at all,  particularly when it is time for sex.

In his ruling, the presiding judge,  Mr Dapo Adebayo held, “In view of the explanation of both parties, I  discover they were not meant for each other.

He, consequently,  dissolved the marriage and also ordered that the first  two children of the marriage should be in the custody of the man. While the last born should  be with the mother.
