75-YEAR-OLD MAN DIVORCES WIFE OVER LACK OF SEX

A 26-year-old marriage between a bricklayer, James Kayode Oguntuase, 75 and his wife, Felicia, 53, was annulled in Ado-Ekiti over sexual deprivation.

The pained husband, Oguntuase accused Felicia of denying him sex, adultery, stealing and stubbornness, claiming that he had caught her with 3 different men and that she had aborted three pregnancies for her lovers.

He also accused his estranged wife of stealing N35,000, the money he had saved for the purchase of carpentry materials.

Although she denied every allegation, he asked the court for the custody of their 6 children, Caroline, 25; Peter, 23; Akin, 18; Ife, 15; Rachel, 12; and Tolulope, 6 stating that he’d be responsible for their upkeep and everything else.

However, the wife, in her defense, said she denied her husband sex on grounds of ill-health, and also denied the allegations of adultery and stealing.

She urged the court not to dissolve the union.

The court dissolved the union, saying the marriage had broken down as the two parties failed to avail themselves of the opportunity given to settle the dispute amicably.

Also, the custody of the kids above 18 was awarded to him while the younger ones to their mother.
