A man, Ayinla, has told the Grade A Customary Court sitting at Mapo, Ibadan, Oyo State, that he paid N2,000 as his ‘talkative’ wife’s bride price and she has stopped cooking for him.
His wife, Mosunmola, had brought him to the court, accusing him of living an irresponsible lifestyle.
She alleged that Ayinla consistently neglected his responsibilities at home and showed little concern for her well-being and that of their children.
She further claimed that he led a reckless life, often returning home late at night after she and the children had already gone to bed.
The plaintiff stated that their relationship was fraught with frequent quarrels, leading to several separations.
She explained that she eventually left the marriage when she could no longer endure the strain.
Mosunmola, therefore, urged the court to grant her custody of their children and to compel her husband to take responsibility for their welfare.
In his response, Ayinla agreed to the dissolution of their marriage, alleging that Mosunmola had stopped cooking for him and neglected his welfare.
He also described her as talkative, a trait he found intolerable.
The defendant further claimed that the plaintiff showed him no respect and frequently insulted him.
Mosunmola, in her testimony, said, “My husband and I never got along throughout the time we were together, which led to my decision to leave.“
“He neither paid my bride price nor fulfilled the required traditional marital rites.
“We made no meaningful progress for the eight years our union lasted. Neither did we possess any property.
“My husband was indifferent to my welfare and that of our children.
“He was often absent and always returned home late at night after everyone had gone to bed.
“I single-handedly took care of our children’s needs and gave in-depth attention to their feeding and schooling.
“All that he knew to do was to beat me. We lived separately on many occasions, but we were always reconciled because I hoped he would change, but his behaviour got worse.
“I pray the court to grant me custody of our children and my husband be responsible for their feeding and education.
Ayinla, responding, said. “My wife is a liar. I paid N2,000 as her bride price.
“My wife lacks morals and has been a poor role model for our children.
“She refused to cook for me and would instead tell me to give the children money to prepare my meals.
“My wife is talkative, and I dislike this about her.
“She sometimes said inappropriate things, which often landed her in trouble.
“Our marriage ended when she moved out of my house.”
The court president, Mrs S.M Akintayo, adjourned the case for judgment.
The Nigerian Navy said its operatives attached to its frontline base, the NNS BEECROFT has rescued five persons attempting to travel out of Nigeria through illegal means.
The Commander of the NNS BEECROFT, Commodore Aiwuyor Adams Aliu said the suspected stowaways were rescued rescued from the merchant vessel, MT CHINAFRIE HAPPINESS, which was travelling to India from the Tin Can Island Port in Lagos.
Commodore Adams Aliu said the men were handed over to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) as part of ongoing efforts to combat illegal migration and strengthen maritime security.
According to the Nigerian Navy, the five men were discovered on Wednesday, June 17, concealed inside the rudder compartment of the vessel, explaining that a stowaway is a person who secretly boards a vessel with the intention of travelling illegally to another country without authorisation.
The suspects were safely evacuated by naval personnel and taken to NNS BEECROFT for preliminary investigation and profiling.
He said initial investigations identified the suspects as Segun Samuel Boyewa (31), Kingsley Chukwu (43), Joseph Judge (33), Moses Aletor (24), and Abdullahi Danlami (31).
Further findings revealed that the suspects had boarded MT CHINAFRIE HAPPINESS while it was berthed at Tin Can Island Port, intending to travel illegally to India.
The Navy said the handover to the Nigeria Immigration Service underscores the sustained collaboration among security agencies in addressing illegal migration and enhancing safety within Nigeria’s maritime domain.
The Commanding Officer of NNS BEECROFT urged parents, guardians and community leaders to discourage young people from engaging in dangerous and unlawful attempts to board seagoing vessels in pursuit of irregular migration.
He reaffirmed the commitment of NNS BEECROFT to fulfilling the mission of the Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Idi Abbas, by maintaining a highly motivated and professional naval force capable of safeguarding Nigeria’s maritime interests, supporting joint operations, defending national sovereignty, and contributing to internal security.
The Commissioner of Police, Lagos State Command, Mr Fatai Tijani, has assured residents that a commercial area in the state remains safe following a bomb explosion suspected to be an Improvised Explosive Device, which triggered brief panic in the area.
Tijani gave the assurance on Monday, June 22, 2026 while addressing journalists at the scene of the incident at the Shoe Materials Market in Mushin, following a comprehensive sweep by security operatives.
According to him, the police received information about an explosion and immediately deployed Explosive Ordnance Disposal operatives to cordon off and secure the area.
“We promptly deployed our EOD team after receiving reports of an explosion. The area was cordoned off and thoroughly searched,” he said.
He explained that preliminary findings indicated that the explosion was caused by an Improvised Explosive Device planted under a vehicle.
Tijani said the device was placed beneath the passenger side of the vehicle and detonated when the engine was started.
“The IED was under the vehicle by the passenger side. It exploded when the vehicle was started,” he said.
According to him, one person sustained injuries in the incident and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
He said that the victim was in a stable condition.
The commissioner added that after a detailed sweep by EOD experts, no additional explosive devices were discovered in the area.
The police commissioner urged members of the public, especially residents and traders in the affected commercial area, to remain calm and resume normal activities.
He also stated that remnants of the explosive device had been recovered and taken for forensic examination as investigations continued.
The CP urged residents to remain calm and disregard rumours suggesting widespread insecurity in Lagos, describing these as false and misleading.
