An aggrieved housewife, Elizabeth Akingaba, last
Wednesday told Presiding Magistrate of Kubwa Magistrate Court, Ibrahim Muhammad,
that her husband, simply identified as Victor, dumped her after three children
and married another wife.
Elizabeth said she was provoked by Victor’s
action and stormed his residence to register her grievances.
But Victor accused Elizabeth of “house breaking
and theft,” claiming that Elizabeth burgled his house at Kubwa and stole
valuables belonging to his legally married wife, including N20,000 cash and the
photographs of wife and child.
The case took a new twist when the father-in-law,
Chedra Akingaba, who was in court to testify for his daughter in the
divorce suit, narrated how Victor had three children with her daughter without
paying the bride price.
Akingaba, 56, told the court that some years ago,
Victor came to his country home in Ondo State to ask her for daughter’s hand in
marriage. “That was the only time I saw and heard from him until a few months
ago, when I received the news that there was a quarrel between my daughter and
Victor.
“Victor neither paid the bride price nor
performed any marriage rite for my daughter, though I learnt they have three
children.” Adjourned the matter till February 14, 2013.
