A man, named Ike Ifeanyi had petitioned the Court to dissolve their marriage over allegations that his wife, Lovina, arrested him for stealing her underwear.

In his divorce petition, Mr Ifeanyi also told the Makurdi Upper Area Court in Benue on Friday that he was ill-tempered.

He said, “I married Lovina in 2019 under the Traditional Native Laws and Customs of the Igbo people of Imo.

“I paid N95, 000 bride price and another N300, 000 to my mother-in-law to prepare for the traditional marriage that took place on Dec. 14, 2019.

”I included my father-in-law in the matter because I want him to refund the N95, 000 bride price.

”I am no longer interested in the marriage. The last straw for me that finally shattered my marital union with my wife is when I discovered that she secretly terminated a pregnancy.”

Meanwhile,the Judge, Dooshima Ikpambese, adjourned the case until December 6 for Lovina to open her defence,”  NAN.
