News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Kofoworola, an official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency (LASTMA), informed the court that her driver husband is very irresponsible who only finds delight in stealing and running after women.

“He drinks to drinks to stupor. Whenever I am at home, there is no peace of mind for me. On several occasions, I caught him stealing from me after a hard day’s job.

We are not compatible; there is no peace of mind in the house. My husband drinks to stupor and misbehaves,” Kofoworola added.

Continuing, she said:

“He keeps checking my phones and monitoring my movements. He is also fetish and was always in possession of different charms.

When I got pregnant with our first child, he claimed I needed to follow him to their village for a particular festival so that I can give birth safely but I refused.

Sometimes I see charms under his pillow or mine which he claimed are for protection while he hides others in his pockets. For me, the marriage is over as there is no more love between us again.”
