“Whenever I go out and come back late, she will accuse me of being in the company of a woman. When I receive a call, she will say I am talking to my girlfriend and she will fight me.

“In fact, I can no longer talk to a woman again.

“My wife does not have regard for me. She always rains curses and abuses on me. Most times, she talks to me as if she is talking to her son," Johnson who fathers two children with the defendant told the court.

Adesola in her defense termed the complainant's allegation against her as false.
