Lagos businessman divorces evangelist wife for constantly fighting in public half naked

LAGOS businessman Joseph Aduwo has divorced his of 10 years Evangelist Rachael Aduwo for constantly engaging in fights with other women in the streets in some cases wearing nothing but a brassiere.

 

According to Mr Aduwo, Rachel, 42, was a shameless street fighter who once fought non-stop for 15 hours wearing just a bra. He convinced the Igando Customary Court in Lagos to dissolve his marriage because his wife was impossible to live with and their marital crises remained unresolved.

 

Accepting Mr Aduwo's plea, court president Adegboyega Omilola, cited frequent fighting between the man and his wife for their inability to live peacefully. He ruled in favour of Mr Aduwo who said that the dissolution of the 10-year-old marriage is good riddance to bad rubbish.

Mr Aduwo added: “My wife, who is a pastor, an evangelist, a church interpreter and women leader, fought with nine persons in a day on our street, wearing only bra and underpants. She is a shameless street fighter.

 

“My wife one day engaged in fights from 8.00am to 11.00pm and residents were begging her to stop but she refused. I also pleaded with her but instead she cursed me and I was ashamed of myself."

Among other things, Mr Aduwo, 59, accused Rachael of maltreating his three children he had from another woman. Court president Mr Omilola, said he was convinced that the couple could no longer live together as the petitioner insisted on divorce after several unsuccessful interventions.

 

“The court has no choice than to dissolve the union in spite of the fact that the wife claims she still loves her husband. The court hereby pronounces the marriage between Joseph Aduwo and Rachael dissolved today and both parties henceforth cease to be husband and wife," Mr Omilola ruled.

 

Mr Aduwo told the court that he had to take her pictures of his wife with his phone when she was fighting in public with only a brassiere and sent them to her family. He added that she also fights his friends and relatives anytime they visit him and this has prevented them from coming to his house.

Rachael, however, denied all the allegations, adding that she used to prepare food in the morning, afternoon and evening for her husband. She asked the court not grant his request for a divorce as she still loves him.
