My husband denies me sex, practises juju, woman tells court
A housewife, Mrs Sandra Ekpa, on Friday begged an Upper Area Court
in Mararaba, Nasarawa State, to dissolve her three-year-old marriage because
her husband allegedly practices juju and also denies her sex.
Ekpa told the court that her pastor husband, Gideon Adejoh, had
ruined their marriage and killed the love she had for him. She said that she
married Adejoh on April 18, 2015 according to native laws and custom of the
Igala people in Kogi. She said that the union was blessed with a child.
“Shortly after our marriage, my husband began to do awful things
in the house like practicing juju and seeking extra-powers. “In addition, my
husband stopped having sex with me ever since I gave birth to my baby, who is a
year and six months old now. “I have made all efforts to see that he changed
for good but all proved abortive, rather he kept telling me to pack and go
if I cannot stay.’’
The divorce-seeking woman told court that there was no longer love
in the marriage and as such “I cannot continue again because I have lost the
love and affection I had for him.” She pleaded for immediate dissolution of the
marriage and for the court to grant her custody of the only child from the
union. Ekpa also asked the court to compel the respondent to pay her N30, 000
monthly for the child’s upkeep.
However, Adejoh denied the allegations,
pleading with court to give him time to enable him and his wife to discuss and
appraise the issues.
The Presiding Judge, Mr Ibrahim Shekarau, adjourned the
case until May 3 to allow the parties settle out of court.
