A YOUNG graduate, Mrs Bilkis Orebe, has told an Oshodi Customary
Court in Lagos that her husband, Mr Olakunle Orebe, hasbeen carrying her
two-year-old son to different hotels at night.
Pleading with the court to dissolve her union with her husband,
Bilkis also said that he (respondent) always lock her and her baby out
of the house.
She said: “Every time, my husband comesto carry my son to different
hotels at night. But ever since I brought the matter to court, he has
stopped coming to beat me in my shop.”
The petitioner who claims to own a shop where she sells provisions
on Araromi Street, Oshodi, said also that her estranged husband comes to
her shop to harass her stating that she moved out of the house for
Olakunle with the two-year-old baby that their union produced.
The petitioner, however, informed the court that ever since she
brought the matter to court, her husband has stopped coming to beat her
in her shop. “He was not like this when I first met him because we
were in courtship for eight years before we got married in Oshodi here.
He just changed suddenly,” she added.
Official duty
Crime Alert gathered that Olakunle (respondent) was first billed to
appear in court on February 20, 2013 but he failed to show up and the
case was adjourned till March 20, 2013. The court president, Alhaja A.
Olorunibe, asked the bailiff if the respondent didn’t get the letter
from court but he said that
he called to inform him that he was on official duty outside the country and wouldn’t be able to be in court.
Responding, the petitioner told the court that her husband brought
their son back to her shop around 8 pm yesterday and asat 9 pm, she
still saw him somewhere on Araromi Street.
The court president ordered the registrar to write a letter to the
respondent and askhim to meet the court in chambers, in order to explain
his own side of the story.
While the case was adjourned till June 6, 2013, the respondent is to meet the courtin chambers on April 24, 2013.
