My husband eloped with his mistress since 2013: Divorce-seeking wife
The Jos central Area Court sitting in Kasuwan Nama has granted a housewife, Gloria Njin, divorce on the ground that her husband Femi Emmanuel eloped with his mistress.
In her ruling, the judge, Irene Pati, held that all efforts to reconcile the parties failed.
The judge ordered the couple to go their separate ways.
Earlier, Ms Njin prayed the court to dissolve her 11-year-old marriage.
”Emmanuel eloped in 2013 with his mistress. I hear he has since married her,” she told the court. ”My marriage was characterised by violence and abuse.”
