“We are not compatible, there is no peace of mind in the house. My husband drinks to stupor and misbehaves,” said Kofoworola, who urged the court to dissolve the marriage.
She added: “He keeps checking my phones and monitoring my movements. He is also fetish and was always in possession of different charms.
“When l got pregnant for our first child, he claimed l needed to follow him to their village for a particular festival so that l can give birth safely but I refused.
“Sometimes l see charms under his pillow or mine which he claimed are for protection while he hides others in his pockets.
“For me the marriage is over as there is no love lost between us again.”
