Man Beat Up Wife In Lagos Court For Committing Adultery

                   Drama was displaced at the Ikeja Magistrate court in Lagos as a man who brought his marital troubles to court descended on his wife and beat her up on the premises of a court.

                  Olufemi Ogbiyele who appeared along with his wife, Bola at the Ikeja Magistrate court to attend divorce proceedings was said to have assaulted his wife within the court building.

                    Olufemi had accused his wife of adultery and was allegedly angered by the fact that a family friend pleaded with him to resolve his differences with his wife amicably and out of court.

according to source, Olufemi instead grabbed his wife, descended on her and dealt blows on her to the surprise of everyone present.

                      Reacting to the incident, counsel to the wife, Mr Shittu Oladeyinde, said, “I’m aware that a friend called them to settle their differences out of court. This appeal infuriated Olufemi who flared up, pounced on his wife and beat her up.’’

According to Oladeyinde, “the couple’s problem started on February 11, 2013 when the woman locked herself up in the children’s room after her husband had beaten her. She later left for her mother’s house.”

The counsel further disclosed that “another lawyer, Mr Taiwo and a pastor met with the husband, asking him to resolve the matter amicably. Olufemi agreed to do so on the condition that his wife stopped working, but Bola objected to this.
“It was after this meeting that he sent a text message to his wife, asking her to prepare her lawyers for a divorce,” he said.
