My wife told me one of three children is mine, husband tells court
A plumber, Desmond Igbo, on Tuesday accused his wife, Rosemary, at the Jikwoyi Customary Court of giving birth to two children for another man.
The petitioner said this in a divorce petition he filed against his wife in court.
“My wife is having extramarital affairs. She confessed to me that only my second child was my biological child. She said that the other two were not my biological children.
“I have been taking care of them for 13 years. This is heartbreaking. It is on this issue that I seek to divorce my wife,” said the plumber.
He also told the court that there was no love and understanding in the marriage.
The respondent, who is a businesswoman, denied the allegations.
The presiding judge, Thelma Baba, advised the couple to explore reconciliation and adjourned the matter until 25 for a report of settlement.
