An Igando Customary Court in Lagos has dissolved a 41-year-old marriage between Mabel Alli and her husband, Pastor Richard, over incest.
Mabel had told the court to end her marriage to Richard for impregnating her sister and their daughter.
“My husband sexually molested all three of our daughters. After impregnating my sister, he took one of our daughters to the hospital to have an abortion,” she said.
“Our 19-year-old girl also reported to me that he always sneaks into her room to have intercourse with her and I have caught him in the act.
“My friends and domestic staff are not spared. I have caught him with them too, he is just a womaniser.”
The 63-year-old woman also alleged that her husband wanted to use her for ritual to finance his political ambition.
Richard, 66, denied all the allegations, and prayed the court to dissolve the marriage.
He said that he went to Kenya for a prayer conference and not to get power and charms as his wife had claimed.
Court President, Adeniyi Koledoye, dissolved the marriage, saying that all efforts to reconcile them failed.
