The petitioner told the court that his wife has abandoned her duties as a wife because of church.
He told the court that he tried to stop his wife from going to that church but she refused.
“We were happily living together as husband and wife until the year 2010, when I started noticing some strange behaviors in my wife especially her mode of dressing. She stopped wearing ear rings and necklaces, claiming that those things belong to the devil.
“That was when I noticed that she had stopped attending our family church, Lutheran Church of Christ in Nigeria (NCCN), and was attending another church where she is being brain washed. I told her to stop, but she refused it is on this account that I wish to divorce her.” He said.
The respondent, Mary who is a cleaner was present in court but denied the allegations. The presiding judge, Doocivir Yawe, advised the couple to reconcile for the sake of the children and adjourned the matter until Jan. 30 for hearing. (NAN)
