Asir stated before the court that his wife was troublesome, violent and always threatening to kill him. He thus pleaded with the court to terminate their 10-year-old marriage and grant him custody of their two children. “Any time she seized these documents, she would insist that I pay a certain amount before she returned them to me. “I later discovered she went away with some important documents which the police later helped me to retrieve from her. Giving his judgement, the court president, Chief Ademola Odunade stated that it was obvious that their marriage had broken down irrevocably.
