By Rasaq Adebayo
The customary court in Oshodi-Isolo LGA has finally dissolved the 35-year old marriage between Mr Isaiah Robinson and his wife, Mrs Yetunde Robinson.
It was earlier reported last week that the court ordered Mr Robinson to renovate the house built by his wife for her and her children especially their sickle cell 11 years old last born to provide her conducive accommodation due to her health status before the marriage could be dissolved.
However, the husband pleaded for an extension of time till June ending to perfect the renovation of the house.
The petitioner had accused his wife of infidelity and being diabolical, lack of care for the sickle cell child, adding that the marriage lacked the required love to sustain the union.
Following his agreement to renovate the house by June ending, the court, on Thursday, June 17, dissolved the marriage as both parties refused to reconcile.
While pronouncing the judgement, the court president, Mrs Adebisi Laditan, ordered the husband to give N200,000 to the divorced wife in addition to the N500,000 he has earlier given her to establish business and the house renovation.
The court put the 11 years old sickle cell daughter under the custody of the wife because of her age and health while the husband is to have unhindered access to his children.
The husband was told to ensure that he completes the house renovation as promised.
The court also ordered him to pay N30,000 monthly for the feeding and medication of the little girl and also take responsibility for her school fees.
The copy of the judgement was made available for both parties to obtain while the opportunity to appeal for redress was given to any aggrieved party within the statutory period of 30 days.
