A Customary Court in Nyanya, Abuja has adjourned till February 16 the hearing of a suit brought by a mother of one, Mrs Ojoma Nuel against her husband, Thomas, for allegedly denying her of her “conjugal rights”.
Ojoma, who resides in Jikwoyi area of Abuja, also last Thursday accused her husband of domestic violence.
The woman, who is seeking for divorce, said her husband no longer cared about her and their only child.
“My husband has practically denied me of my conjugal rights; he doesn’t care to know how I feel, or what my needs are in that aspect.
“I have suffered repeated physical abuse and violence from Thomas, including blows, slaps, locked out of the house and so on,” she said.
The petitioner told the court that her husband doesn’t provide for the family.
She prayed the court to grant her divorce; the custody of their only child and compel her husband to pay N50,000 for upkeep of their child every month.
Thomas, who was present in court, denied all the allegations but urged the court to resolve the matter.
The Presiding Judge, Doocivir Yawe, has adjourned hearing the matter till Feb. 16.
