News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Chief Ademola Odunade, the President the Court, while delivering judgment, held that the dissolution was done in order to avoid “blood shed”.
Odunade awarded custody of the only child to Akanni and ordered Sola to pay N5,000 as the child’s monthly feeding allowance.
Earlier, Akanni, who lives in Akuro area in Ibadan, prayed the court to grant her prayer for divorce on grounds that her husband was unfaithful and irresponsible.
She said “Sola has taken his adulterous lifestyle to another level by bringing different women into our matrimonial home.
“If I dare complain, he beats me up. In fact, Sola frequently threatens to kill me.
“I do not want to lose my life too soon. Separate us.”
However, the defendant was not in court when he was called to respond to the allegations leveled against him.
The bailiff said that he served several hearing notices on the respondent.
The court’s registrar was subsequently directed to send the copy of the judgment to Sola.
