Not swayed by Beauty’s evidence, the court had ordered her to produce the alleged father of her two children on the next date of adjournment.
NAN reports that after the case had suffered series of adjournment due to Beauty’s inability to produce her secret lover in court while Nathaniel sought the order of the court for custody of the children.
At the resumed hearing on Tuesday, Beauty dramatically knelt down and tenaciously openly clung to Nathaniel’s legs and pleaded for forgiveness.
“I want to use this opportunity to plead with this honourable court to disregard all the statements that I earlier made.
“I lied when I said that my husband was not the father of my two children.

“I do not know what came over me when I said those things,” Beauty begged.
However, Nathaniel vehemently rejected his wife’s plea for mercy, adding that she had done an irreparable damage to his name and reputation.
“My lord, Beauty has ruined my heart and dented my name in public and in the news.
“I cannot accept her plea; not this time, it is too late; she has brought so much shame to me,” Nathaniel lamented.
Beauty’s father, who had all along supported Nathaniel, joined his daughter to plead with his son in-law for forgiveness.
