A businessman, Justine Onu, on Monday, urged the Customary Court in Jikwoyi, Abuja, to dissolve his marriage to his wife, Joyce, over allegations that he caught her having sexual intercourse with his cousin.

The petitioner told the court that his wife was very promiscuous, and he was tired of the marriage.

Mr Onu informed the court that he had developed high blood pressure because of his wife’s alleged promiscuous character.

He further alleged that his wife was irresponsible and did not care for the children or cook for the family.

The respondent, however, denied all allegations.

The presiding judge, Labaran Gusau, adjourned the matter until November 8 for further hearing.
