Pastor accuses wife of using charms

A pastor, Jimoh Ajose, yesterday, urged a Badagry Customary Court to dissolve his six year-old marriage, accusing his wife, Abosede, of using charms on him.

The pastor, who lives on Gboko Street, Igborosun, Badagry, also accused his wife of being quarrelsome, adding that he no longer loves her.

“I am seeking the dissolution of this marriage because we no longer love each other. She fights with church members and she once broke the head of a member on mere suspicion that I was befriending her," he said.

According to him, he has locked her out of the house, because of her incessant quarrels. He said her attitude if unchecked, can break his church.

Abosede denied the allegations. She said she never used charms on her husband. 

Rather, she accused her husband of sleeping with wives of church members. 

"I did not use charms, the only soap he saw with me was meant to promote my ailing trade," she said.

Mr Olanrewaju Dasilva, who stood in for the President of the court, Mr A.B. Kudaisi, asked the couple to go home and resolve the matter amicably. “The two of you must remain peaceful," he said. The case was adjourned to June 6.
