My Husband Attempted To Rape My Sister Several Times –Wife!

A 45-year old trader, Mrs Cecilia Ayayi, has approached an Igando Customary Court in Lagos to end her 20-year-old marriage over her randy husband’s attempt to rape her younger sister.

Cecilia told the court on Thursday that her husband, John Ajayi, for who she had three children, had on many occasions attempted to rape her younger sister.

“My sister left our house without any notice. When I called her to know why she packed out she told me that my husband had been trying to rape her whenever I am not at home.

“That she had to leave because my husband may succeed in raping her one day,” a discomfited wife said.

The petitioner also accused her husband of infidelity.

“My husband is a womaniser; he brings girls, nursing mothers and divorcees into our matrimonial home.

“On many occasions, he and his lovers had beaten me up whenever I tried to prevent them from entering our room.

“He even impregnated one of the women,’’ she alleged.

Cecilia said that her husband sent her packing because she was an illiterate.

She added: “My husband sent me packing that he can no longer cope with an illiterate.

“He knew I stopped my education at junior secondary school level when he asked for my hand in marriage.”

The mother of three said that her husband had refused to leave his family house to rent an apartment since they got married 20 years ago.

“He said that he could not leave his family house and on three occasions, I was attacked by his family members over inheritance.’’

She pleaded with the court to terminate the marriage and that she was no longer interested as the love she once had for him had faded.

Ajayi, 55, a businessman, told the court that his wife ran away because he lost his job.

“Things were moving on fine until I lost my job at the Federal Inland Revenue Service and since then she changed.

“She packed out to live with another man because I am no longer financially buoyant.

“She even gave birth two months ago for her new lover,’’ he told the court.

On the allegation that he had refused to leave his family house, he said he decided to stay there because he was the only son of the family.

John, however, urged the court not to grant his wife’s wish, saying he is still in love.

The Court’s President, Mr Adegboyega Omilola, after listening to the couple, adjourned the case to July 12 for further hearing.
