‘My childhood friend told me he’s having affair with my wife’

An Ekiti based man, Lamidi Adebayo has dragged his wife before a Customary Court seeking divorce on the ground that the wife was sleeping with his childhood friend, an herbalist.
Adebayo, 48, a commercial driver accused his wife, Bose of adultery, drunkenness and dishonesty.
Adebayo, who has been married with Bose for 28 years said he was shocked when his childhood friend named Lateef, an herbalist confessed to him of having secret affairs with his wife.
“I was shocked on November 7, 2017 when my childhood friend, named Lateef, a herbalist, invited me to his house and told me that I should forgive him that ‎he has been having secret affairs with my wife.
“He told me that my wife told him that her husband had died a long time ago, whereas am still very much alive,” he said.
He said though their marriage was not formally contracted, but they have four children together.
He further told the court that his neighbours had informed him several times that his wife and one of her friends were “touring the houses of men” but he never believed the information.
The petitioner also alleged that the respondent ‎was a drunkard who takes gin, assorted wines and palm wine to stupor every morning.
Lamidi said he had tried every possible means ‎to stop his wife’s adulterous act and drunkenness but to no avail.
The petitioner, therefore, urged the court to dissolve the marriage because of her behaviour and dishonesty.
The plea of the woman was not immediately taken, but the ‎President of the Court, Olayinka Akomolede, after hearing the petitioner’s testimony adjourned the case to Feb.15, for further hearing.
