The housewife is seeking the dissolution on grounds of battery, drunkard and lack of care for her and her four children by her husband.

The complainant told the court that aside the fact that she was responsible for the payment of the children school fees, her husband had not shown any sign of being responsible.

Bimbo said that she decided to move out of their home because he did not take care of the children.

But the defendant, Sunday Anifowose ,43, alleged that his wife built a house without his knowledge.

Sunday said he was still paying his children’s school fees in addition to sponsoring his wife to school.

He also told the court that he was always providing foodstuff for the house as well as opened a shop for her wife where she was trading.
