He said his wife wants to kill him with children

A marriage of nine years was dissolved after Michael Ayinde, a 39-year-old man, took his wife, Glory, to court over her penchant for unbridled procreation.

Akin Akinniyi, the presiding officer of the Igando Customary Court said that it was obvious from available testimony and the respondent’s refusal to appear in court that the marriage had hit the rocks.

Dissolve

“Throughout the duration of this case, the respondent (Glory) refused to honour court processes.

“Therefore, the court has no choice than to dissolve the marriage; the court hereby pronounce the marriage between Mr. Michael Ayinde and Mrs. Glory Ayinde dissolved.

“Both parties henceforth cease to be husband and wife and are free to go their separate ways without any hindrance or molestation,’’ Mr. Akinniyi ruled.

Economy

Mr. Michael Ayinde had earlier told the court that his wife, whose name he gave as Glory, enjoyed “giving birth at will’’ without consideration for the prevailing economic situation.

According to him, Glory has had six children within the nine-year duration of their marriage.

“Before I married Glory, I warned her that I needed only two kids irrespective of their gender so that I can afford their upkeep. She agreed only for her to discard the agreement after marriage.

Rabbits

“My wife wants to kill me with children. She is giving birth to children like rabbits. In nine years, she has delivered six babies.

“She was sacked from her workplace just because she gets pregnant immediately after she resumes from maternity leave,’’ Mr. Ayinde said.

He said that he had sold his cars and some of his property to cater for the children.
