Dossou Adenike is a lady who has been wronged and is seeking a divorce at the Lagos Island Customary Court. Mr. Segun Dossou, a Benin Republic resident, has allegedly inserted his fingers into his little daughters' private regions while washing them for the past 12 years, according to her.
Adenike said she was shocked to learn that her husband had been continuing the ungodly act whenever he volunteered to bathe their three children, who are eight, ten, and twelve years old, respectively. She added that she had awoken to find her husband missing from their bed only to find him sleeping next to their children in their room on more than three occasions.
The complainant stated in court, "
“I WENT WITH HIM TO COTONOU TO SEAL OUR UNION IN THEIR REGISTRY. I WAS JUST SIGNING DOCUMENTS; I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THE PAPERS. I DON’T LOVE HIM ANYMORE AND I DON’T WANT TO GIVE MY GIRLS TO LIVE WITH HIM.
I AM STILL IN SHOCK. OUR FIRST DAUGHTER, 12, TOLD ME THAT SHE IS GROWING AND DIDN’T LIKE WHAT HER DAD DID TO HER,” ADENIKE SOBBED.“I SCOLDED HIM AND ASKED IF HE WANTED TO RUIN OUR CHILDREN’S LIFE BUT HE DIDN’T RESPOND“I AM IN SUPPORT OF THE DISSOLUTION BECAUSE I KNOW HE WANTS OUR CHILDREN IN HIS CUSTODY TO CONTINUE HIS MISDEEDS.”
According to the BEVIBESHUB, the husband, a 39-year-old Immigration Officer, refuted his wife's claim, claiming that their issues began when his wife acquired a job and became unruly.
Dossou explained:
“SHE IS A THIEF, SHE STEALS GOVERNMENT’S PROPERTY. SHE BROUGHT CEMENT AND COAL TAR HOME. IT WAS HER ATTITUDE THAT MADE US FIGHT AND SHE LEFT ME.”
The defendant went further to say “I just want our daughters. I don’t love or need her anymore.”
The court president, Chief Awos Awosola, advised the couple to be very careful with their utterances in future and to maintain peace.
