“I went to the church and I was told that Shola and my wife have been lovers for a long time,” he said.

The 47-year-old petitioner alleged that his wife once abandoned their matrimonial home for three years without checking on the children.

He prayed the court to terminate their union, claiming he was no longer interested and that he had moved on with his life.

Responding, Damilola accused her husband of sending her out of his house, NAN reports

The 45-year-old sales representative also denied having extramarital affair with any man.

“I am not having any affair with Shola as claimed. I only chose to be close to him in order for him to help me travel out of the country. He is a travel agent.

“Surprisingly, Gbenga came to my church to fight,” she said.

“Although the matter had been resolved, I now know I did not play the game well,” she said.

Having listened to the estranged couple, the President of the court, Mr Adeniyi Koledoye, adjourned the case until Feb. 27 for judgment.
