Omolabake, the woman, said she was barred from entering her shop by Olajire, her husband, because her customers were mostly men
In order for peace to prevail, a customary court in Mapo in Ibadan on Friday ended a 12-year-old marriage between a transporter, Oluwaniyi Olajire, and his wife, Omolabake, on charges of infidelity and improper dress.
NAN reports that the President of the Court, Ms. SM Akintayo, said in her judgment that the union between Olajire and Omolabake was dissolved so that there could be peace between the two.
However, Akintayo gave the defendant custody of the three children produced by the union because they were still in their formative years.

Consequently, she instructed the petitioner to pay a monthly food allowance of N15,000 to support the children.
“In addition, the petitioner and the respondent are jointly responsible for the school and medical care of the children.
“However, the children are allowed to be with their father during all holiday periods.

“The defendant is prohibited from harassing, intimidating or harassing the petitioner in any form,” Akintayo noted.
During the hearing, Olajire, who resides in the Koro-Akobo area of Ibadan, told the court that he was irritated by his wife’s promiscuous lifestyle.
“My lord, I didn’t know I made a wrong decision when I walked down the aisle with Omolabake in 2010.
“Shortly after she came to my house, Omolabake started sleeping with different types of men and brought them to my marital home.
“I’ve caught her with carefree men in my living room and in her shop at different times.
“In fact, Omolabake once told me that she could not clearly define the relationship between her and one of her concubines.
“The worst thing is that Omolabake walks around half-naked in public places; wear miniskirts, skimpy and masculine dresses.
“I’ve reached out to her parents countless times, but she hasn’t changed,” Olajire explained.
The defendant Omolabake agreed to the divorce and did not deny the allegations against her.
However, she claimed that her husband never cared for her and added that she started her business with her meager savings without the petitioner doing anything.
“It’s true that Olajire complained about me selling noodles to young men in our neighborhood, but I found it difficult to stop cooking.
“To calm him down I decided to stop selling pasta and bought a fridge to sell beer.
“I refused Olajire access to my store because my customers are mostly men and Olajire wouldn’t be happy about that,” Omolabake said.
