A
nurse, Kausarat Bakare, on Friday, told
an Ikorodu Customary Court, Lagos State, that she left her husband because her
father-in-law made sexual advances to her.
Kausara, 28, made the allegation while testifying in a
divorce petition brought by her husband, Qudus Bakare, seeking dissolution of
the marriage.
She said that she left her husband in order to sustain
the marriage, stressing that "I do not want a divorce. I want the court to
save my two-year childless marriage.
"I lost my child while giving birth. Since then, I
have not been able to conceive, and my husband’s father usually gives me soap
to wash my private part.
“My father-in-law usually comes around when my husband is
not at home and always tells me to sit on his lap. I reported the matter to my
uncle who advised me to stop using the soap and to also tell my husband what
was happening.
"I was afraid because my husband is dating our
neighbour’s daughter, I suspect he wants to marry her," she said.
The husband, however, urged the court to dissolve the
marriage, saying that his wife was troublesome and had left him.
"My wife left home since April 2014, I do not know
what prompted her action because I do take care of her. She is just not pleased
with everything I do for neighbours, she doesn’t want me to help other people.
"I heard her phone conversations some time ago that
she would use super glue on my eyes and that I will go blind so that she can
become the landlady.
"I don’t want her to come back to my house, she may
kill me," Bakare said.
President of the court, Mr Olu Adebiyi, adjourned the
case till September 19.
