A middle-aged man, Prince Agina, on Wednesday told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos how his own wife, Obianuju, has been poisoning his meals for years, since 2008.
The union which was consummated on Dec. 24, 2006 in Anambra had been blessed with three children.
Obianuju was also accused of infidelity by her husband...
"Since 2008, I have noticed that my food was being laced with poison, which has resulted to my deteriorating health; as I am standing here, I'm sick.
"Usually, I travel a lot. On one occasion when I returned home; I noticed that the centre table in our home had broken; when I asked my daughter how it happened, she told me that one uncle broke it.
"This means my wife brings other men into our matrimonial home whenever I travelled because my daughter knows all her uncles. She goes out at will without my permission, she does not listen to me as her husband and I don't love her anymore," the husband said.
But the wife denied the allegations, saying her husband just have diabetes and not poison reaction.
"My husband has diabetes and hypertension; and he keeps eating those foods that the doctor warned him to desist from. Please tell me why he won't be sick always.
"I stayed with him at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) for four months looking after him but he did not listen to the doctor’s advice. So, how has his disobedience become my fault?"
The president of the court, Adegboyega Omilola, said he believe the man can forgive his wife and take her back, but do a proper check on his health.
He referred the couple to the Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) office for possible settlement.
