Many years after marriage, wife discovers husband has 2 other wives
Getting a divorce from her husband might be the only saving factor for a woman who feel cheated in her marriage.
Getting a divorce seems of great importance to Idowu so as to prevent her from committing suicide. Punch News gathered THIS in a report.
“I was in 300-level at the Lagos State University Distance Learning Programme when I met Michael Idowu in 2012.
“He was a teacher and I was teaching with my National Certificate in Education then; he proposed to me but I rejected because he was older than me.

“Michael told me that his wife divorced him with two sons and out of pity, I fell in love with him.
“Few months after, he took me to meet his family. When I got pregnant in 2013, we got married and he paid my dowry.
“But when I was seven months pregnant, I discovered that my husband had two wives and six children which he hid from me during our courtship.
“He lied to me, my world broke down but I survived the trauma.
"Michael kept me in a two-room apartment in a bushy area, but I still managed to have my baby," the complainant told the court in a Punch News report.
