A divorce seeker, Sunday Oguntoye, has approached the Igando Customary Court, Lagos, and accused his father-in-law of assaulting and threatening to ruin his life.

“My father-in-law slapped me and cursed me, telling me he can make a cripple and ruin my life,” he alleged.

Mr Oguntoye also accused his wife, Toyin, of moving out of their matrimonial home with their three children over a year ago.

“Our fights stem from the fact that she compares me a lot to her family and outsiders. She calls a good-for-nothing man with little or no achievement and how she regrets marrying me.

“I have reported her to her family, who always caution her. She nags a lot, and I am fed up,” the divorce seeker said.

Mr Oguntoye also told the court that his wife had stopped cooking for him.

The respondent, Mrs Toyin, who has since relocated to Ibadan, was absent and said to have ignored several calls to appear in court.

President of the court, Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the case until July 12 for judgement.
