Mr Vitus Egemonu,44, a civil servant and father of five on Tuesday, pleaded with the Grade `A’ Customary Court, Agege, Lagos, to divorce his marriage of 16 years over his spouse alleged disobedience, lack of respect and threat to life.
“For the past 10 years, my wife has been moving from one church to the other, claiming that it was God that sent her to be doing so.
“She carries the bible from morning till night and has not obeyed what it says about a wife being submissive to her husband.
Egemonu also told the court that his wife, Victoria, had fought with almost all the tenants in their house, all in the name that God told her that they were all witches and wizards.
“She has refused to cook for the past 15 months; I have not eaten at home since then, all in the name of church programmes, bible colleges and fellowships,’’ he said.
“I was a bachelor when I rented the house we are now. I have not fought with anyone in the house, until my wife came in.
“She always fights with our landlady and calls her a witch. My wife told the woman that she used her daughter’s foetus for money; now we have been given a quit notice to move out.
“She even went to the extent of brainwashing my daughter such that the girl looked straight in my eyes and said the Lord told her that this year will be a year of joblessness for me,’’ he added.
