I won’t allow my husband have sex with me until he pays his debt – Woman tells court

A 39-year-old trader, Mrs Modinat Idowu, Thursday, told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos State that she would not allow her husband, Akeem Idowu to have sex with her until he pays the debt he owes her.

She stated this while responding to a suit filed by her 45-year-old husband whom she had been married to for 12 years.

She said: “I have been denying my husband sex because he borrowed N690,000 from me and has refused to pay, I will continue to starve him of sex until he pays the money.

“Akeem is in the habit of swearing and cursing me with a charm called `Ishan egungun’: a specially prepared masquerade’s rod and this is affecting my life.’’

The mother of two, however, appealed to the court not to grant her husband’s wish for the dissolution of their marriage, adding that she was still in love with him.

Akeem, a businessman, had approached the court for the dissolution of the 12-year-old marriage over alleged sex denial by his wife.

“My wife does not want me to touch her nor make love to her, I am tired of the marriage because I am neither a stick nor a stone,’’ he said.

He also alleged that his wife loved attending social activities and hardly stayed at home.

“Whenever she went out, she would not return home until after five days or seven days. My wife will go from one party to another; spending days and neglecting the family.

“I have reported her severally to her father who always calls her to order but there has been no positive change,’’ Akeem told the court.

He described Modinat as a liar, not trustworthy and always inconsistent in her words and actions.
“Modinat lies a lot. One day, she told me that she was going to Mushin in Lagos state; but some hours later, someone called to tell me that she was in Igbo-Ora in Oyo State.

“When I called her and confronted her that she was in Oyo State as against Mushin she claimed she was going to when she left home, she cut off the call.

“She took permission on another day that she was going to Oshodi, but someone saw her at Ijebu-Ode in Ogun, I cannot just account for her movement.’’ Akeem said.

Akeem pleaded with the court to end the union between them since he was no longer interested and did not love her any more.

The President of the court, Mr Hakeem Oyekan, adjourned the case to July 22 for further hearing.
