18 Year Old Marriage Dissolved Over Brand New Car Sown As Seed To Pastor

An 18-year-old marriage has been dissolved by an Agege Customary Court in Lagos after a housewife took a brand new car bought for her by her husband and sowed it as a seed to a pastor.



The President of the court, Mr Phillip Williams, who handed down the verdict, said he was fully convinced that the couple could no longer live together as husband and wife.

“The two of you should go your separate ways without any molestation or harassment,” he ruled.

“The court has no choice than to dissolve the union in spite of the fact that the wife still claims she loves her husband.”

The petitioner, Kingsley Onyenobi, 50, had on February 11 filed a petition against his wife, Chioma, citing lack of care, infidelity and threat to life.

The wife, Bunmi however said, “Please help me to beg him, I am not ready to leave my husband because I still love him.”

The estranged husband said he bought a brand new car for her only for her to give out the car to her church pastor on the pretext of “sowing seed”.

“I injected millions of naira into her business and she could not give proper account till date; my wife is wasteful.’’

In her defence, the respondent told the court that when she went for her church convention and the Holy Spirit told her not to go back home with all she brought to the venue.

He said, “So, l left my car, jewellery and other things for the church.’’

She said she could not stay at home most of the time because of the spiritual war the petitioner and his family had been waging against her.

“My pastor advised me to leave the house for some time.”
