Rofiat, 37, said that her husband had neglected her in every area of marital life, including sex. She added that among other things, Nurain directed her to become a full time housewife which meant that she was unable to earn a living.
“At the same time, there had been little or nothing to cater for the growing responsibilities in the home, especially the educational needs of the children. I pleaded with him to give me a portion of his shop to start selling some petty things but Nurain rejected the idea.
“I then told him that I secured a teaching job in a private university and it did not go down well with him. Nurain and I were products of that same university for our degrees but I have since proceeded for my Masters and I am even on my PH.D. programme now," she added.
According to Rofiat, Nurain has not shown any understanding over this but instead quarrels with her for no reason. She added that during the last two Ramadan fasting periods, Nurain did not even know that she existed.
Rofiat added: “My lord, Nurain has locked up our bedroom that could serve as a point of meeting for any sexual activity. The only reason he gave for our last quarrel was that I refused to carry his bag for him after opening the entrance door and I have since reported him to all his relatives but nothing has changed.”
Nurain was not in the court to react to the allegations levelled against him. Court president Sheikh Hamad Tiamiyu, asked Rofiat to support her allegations with witnesses, who he said must be five in number, including three females and two males or vice versa.
He also directed her to put her claims in writing while adjourning the case to September 29 for further hearing. Rofiat and Nurain reside in the Odo Ona-Elewe area of Ibadan.
