The petitioner added that her husband lacked respect for her parents.

She said that there was no more love in the marriage, and urged the court to grant her the custody of the children.

Responding, Segun denied the allegations, saying that he had never beaten his wife.

He told the court that he regularly provided foodstuffs at home and paid the children’s school fees.

The President of the Court, Mr Joseph Ogunsemi, adjourned the case to Jan. 12 for possible reconciliation of the estranged couple.
