"My wife is being controlled by her mother on how to run my house. She used to tell me that her mother is her priority, that I am secondary in her life,’’ the petitioner said.

Olatoye further told the court his wife was ungrateful to him despite the fact that he established her by renting a shop and stocked it with electronics and computer gadgets.

He said that his wife did not open the shop until the rent expires two years after.

He said Adebola was always demanding money from him and whenever he gave her the money she would take it to her mother and asked him for more.

"My wife forcefully collected money from me by violence, take it to her mother and also transferred the food stuff I bought to her.

"I did not burry anything in front of my husband's compound, I am not a fetish person,’’ Adebola said.
