Amos Akinlolu, a 64-year-old retired civil servant, has asked a Grade 'A' Customary Court in Ibadan to dissolve his nearly three-decade-old marriage.
Because she was a "unrepentant adulterer," the man wants his estranged wife, Funmilayo's marriage to be annulled.
Akinlolu told the court that his life had changed dramatically since he discovered his wife's "infidelity."
"My lord, since Funmilayo started making herself a public tap where all men fetch water, peace has become a thing of the past in my family."
"I can no longer bear sharing a home with an adulterous wife because she is a danger to me."
Akinlolu knelt sobbing, saying, "If this court refuses my prayer, I will commit suicide."
Funmilayo, on the other hand, denied any wrongdoing and called her husband's claim "baseless."
"Akinlolu, my lord, has never caught a man in bed with me."
"He kept accusing me of infidelity, and that's why the family hasn't been at peace," Funmilayo explained.
According to news reports, all five children agreed that the marriage should be dissolved in order to restore peace.
In the interest of peace and tranquility, the court's President, Mrs. Imoleayo Akinrodoye, dissolved the marriage.
Because of their ages, Akinrodoye granted the respondent custody of the last three children.
She also ordered Akinlolu to pay N30,000 to Funmilayo in order to rent a new apartment.
The judge also ordered the petitioner to pay N10,000 as a "packing out" allowance to the respondent.
Akinrodoye ordered Akinlolu to pay each of the three children a monthly feeding allowance of N10,000.
