The Court President, Chief Joseph Ogunmola, in his judgment, held that “the marriage has already broken down and is hereby dissolved with immediate effect.”
Ogunmola held that any party that was not pleased should appeal to a superior court after 30 days of this judgment.
He also directed that the husband should fulfil the payment of the wife’s rent and money for business, valued at N80,000 as agreed in court.
The court directed that the wife should vacate the husband’s house by July 31.
The president, therefore, appealed to both parties to maintain peace within 12 calendar months of the judgment.
Lamidi had urged the court to dissolve the marriage over his wife’s indulgence in adultery, constant fighting with tenants, among others.
The petitioner, also a landlord, accused the wife of sleeping about with other men, making trouble with their tenants, and using church as an excuse to stay away from the house.
He told the court that though the eight-year-old marriage was not blessed with a child, the wife refused to change from her worrisome and reckless attitude.
“I have made several complaints to her parents and other family members but my wife persisted with her unruly behavior,” Lamidi said.
