My husband didn’t impregnate me during our 12-year marriage, wife tells court
A Jos Central Area Court has dissolved a 12-year-old marriage between Ngozi Kalu and Kelechi Nwosu on the ground of battery.
Ms Kalu accused her estranged husband of violence, threat to life, and the destruction of property.
Delivering judgment on Wednesday, a panel of judges, led by Ghazali Adam and Hyacinth Dolnanan, dissolved the marriage, and ordered Mr Nwosu to stay away from Ms Kalu.
The couple wedded in 2010.
“I never got pregnant throughout the 12 years I married him. He asked me to leave the house because he was bringing in another woman,” Ms Kalu told the court. “He blew my investment and seized some of my property. He is slowly killing me through a constant battery and lack of care.”
