A Mapo Customary Court in Ibadan on Tuesday dissolved a 31-year-old marriage of between Yisau Koyejo and his wife, Idayat, over adultery and food poisoning.
The President of the court, Mr Ademola Odunade, held that the court had done all it could to resolve the matter amicably but Koyejo had refused to be pacified.
He warned spouses to be wary of the negative implications of their misbehaviours. “Since all the six children are now adults, they are free to go anywhere because they can make decisions on their own.
“They can choose to live either with the father or the mother. “In the interest of peaceful coexistence the union between Koyejo and Idayat has ceased to be henceforth,’’ he said.
Earlier, Koyejo told the court that his wife was adulterous and poisoned him to conceal the act. “Since 1985 when I married Idayat, she has been involved in one act of adultery or the other, which for one reason or the other, I kept forgiving her. “Rather than desist from further adultery after six grown up children Idayat continued.
“Recently, when she observed that I was being too observant and inquisitive about her behaviour, Idayat went for the option of poisoning my meal in order to eliminate me from the surface of the earth.
“Were it not for my closeness to God, I would have been died. I made her understand that I knew that she poisoned my food. “The matter became a subject of family intervention and my relatives, who can no longer take the wicked act, agreed that Idayat must leave.
“I am completely tired of her evil antics in my life. She is a devil incarnate and useful for nothing,’’ Koyejo said. Idayat denied all the allegations, and pleaded with the court not to grant the petition. Idayat said she vehemently wanted to stay because of her children who could take care of her.
