Ado-Ekiti- An Ado Ekiti Customary Court on Friday dissolved an eleven-year-old marriage as result of Facebook adultery.
In his judgment, Joseph Ogunsemi held that it was clear from the available evidence before the jury that both parties are living apart, the union has broken down irretrievably.
The eleven year old union between a businessman, Muyiwa Owolabi (42) and his wife, Tinuola (40) had been undergoing a turbulence period when the wife became addicted to her serial boyfriends on facebook.
Muyiwa had filed a petition before the court accusing Tinuola of serial adultery and sexual escapades through the social media.

Muyiwa accused the respondent of using social media platforms like Facebook and WhatsApp to connect with different men with whom she eloped. He tendered computer generated evidences of her conversation with lovers urging the court to dissolve the union.
A Nokia C3 phone with which the respondent was alleged to be communicating with her lovers was also tendered alongside printouts of pictures and text messages exchanged with the men in question.
But Tinuola, who denied any amorous relationship with the men she was alleged to be going out with, told the court that Muyiwa was in the habit of beating, and starving her, alleging that he seized her phone on “mere suspicion.”
