I Caught My Husband Making Love in Our Bedroom, Woman Tells Court.
A 40-year-old trader, Mrs Folake Alimi, on Wednesday told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos that she caught her husband making love to a girl on their matrimonial bed, Vanguard report.
The woman said this while responding to a divorce suit filed by her husband whom she accused of cheating on her.
“I came home unannounced and I caught my husband making love to a girl; he jumped up when he noticed my presence.
“He begged me not to expose him because of his position in the church and I kept it a secret,” she said.
The respondent said her husband was always jealous and had often accused her of dating every man he saw her with.
“My husband stopped me from working claiming men are dating me,” she said.
The mother of four said that what used to cause their frequent fights was his penchant for buying things for the children of his first wife and ignoring her own.
She begged the court not to grant her husband’s wish for the dissolution of the marriage, claiming that she was still in love with him.
Her husband, Joseph, had approached the court seeking to end his 11-year-old marriage over his wife’s alleged infidelity.
“My wife is cheating on me, she receives calls from men at odd hours,” he said.
The petitioner accused his wife of going out and returning at will.
“My wife abandoned me and the children for one year for an unknown destination; she came back and left for another seven months.
“She was always going to parties and spending days before coming back,” the estranged husband said.
The 47-year-old businessman said that his wife’s son from another father, in company with a gang, attacked him in his church with cutlass, rods and other dangerous weapons.
“My step-son that I trained came to my church with his gang in order to beat me up because I beat his mother,” he said.
He urged the court to terminate the marriage, saying he was no longer in love with his wife.
The President of the court, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, adjourned the case till June 28 for further hearing.

Low Income Nigerians Can Own Homes Cith N30K, Says Osinbajo.
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo said the Federal Government is implementing a N100 billion Family Home Fund, which provides inexpensive mortgages to Nigerians who can afford N30, 000 per month.

Explaining the operation of the fund, Osinbajo said “the N100 billion is a yearly contribution to our N1 trillion Social Housing Fund, the largest in the history of the country.
“Both the World Bank and AFDB are contributors to the fund from which developers will borrow 80% of cost of project and counter fund with their own 20%.’’
The Acting President added that “the same fund will enable us to provide inexpensive mortgages for hundreds of thousands across the country especially for Nigerians who can afford N30, 000 per month.
”We expect that this Family Housing Fund will jumpstart and expand construction exponentially across the country,’’he said.
Some of the houses are estimated to cost as low as N2.5 million, which would be paid for through the monthly mortgages.
Earlier in his broadcast to the nation Prof. Osinbajo stated that “the 2017 budget provides for substantial investment to implement our Social Housing Programme.’’
“The Family Home Fund of our Social Housing Programme will provide inexpensive mortgages for low-income individuals and families across the country,’’ he added.

In the course of interrogation, he revealed that he came from Kaka area of Ayobo, pleading to be pardoned.
An eyewitness, who gave his name as Badmos Gbamgboye, said: “He threw away the fan when the second motorcyclist he tried to board refused to wait. It was the third motorcyclist that held him.
“When he was asked why he chose the church, he said he felt that members would forgive him if caught. He said that his intention was to sell the stolen fan so he can buy food to eat.
“He said in Pidgin Englisg ‘I wan use the money buy yam, gari, rice and palm oil for house because I dey hungry’.”
However, he was stripped naked and forced to carry the stolen fan on his head.
