#DivorceDrama: He has many wives outside || It’s a lie, I only have two

by Akan Ido

Mrs. Semiat Makanju has approached a Lagos Island Customary Court to dissolve her 15-year-old to her husband, Akeem Maruf.

The plaintiff dragged her husband to court accusing him of desertion, lack of care and cruelty.

Makanju and Maruf had since separated as the 30-year-old woman now stays with her mother somewhere around Ashogbon St. on Lagos Island.

Makanju told the court that Maruf never gives her money for family upkeep saying, “He has so many wives outside; so, he hardly ever sees me and even when he deems it fit to visit, he won’t drop any money for my upkeep.”

Maruf, however, denied the allegations saying he is far better than what he’s being portrayed as. He also claimed that, contrary to allegations that he has many wives outside Makanju, he has only two wives.

He explained that he could not provide for the family because “things have been hard”.

“I don’t have plenty wives as she claimed. I have just two and things have been difficult and that is why I have been unable to attend to her needs.

“I am not cruel either; so I don’t know why she brought me to the court when we can settle it amicably,’’ he said.

The president of the Court, Chief J.O. Ogunmola, adjourned the case till September 22 for Akeem to produce the child before the court.
