A 75-year-old man, Fashola Fakorede, on Thursday urged an Igando Customary Court, Lagos, to dissolve his marriage to his wife, Funke, 49, for allegedly beating him.
Fakorede told the court that his wife had turned him into a punching bag and also inflicted injuries on his body. “My wife wants to kill me, she beats me every day. I don’t want to die now, save my life. She always beats me if I asked for food or anything; she has turned it to a routine affair. All the scars on my body are as a result of her battering,” he said.
According to Fakorede, his wife, “She goes out and returns home at will without seeking my permission."
