“I met my husband in 2004 at Alaba International Market, Lagos; he proposed to me and i agreed.

“We did introduction; he married and paid my dowry in May 7, 2006.

“But eight months after our wedding, he started maltreating me like a slave.

“He always beat me and throw my belongings out of the house in the middle of the night, telling me to go anywhere I like.

“The reason for the beating was that my husband is a womanizer and he used to bring them home without any regard for me and my children.

“He is a very dangerous man, who has no respect for me, he has publicly disgraced me on many occasions, I am through with his womanizing attitude,” she said.

The respondent, Stanley, however, denied all the allegations against him by her wife, Sylvia.
