My wife secretly married another man, businessman alleges in court

A businessman, Mr. Chuka Emmanuel, dragged his wife, Jane, before a customary court in Jikwoyi, Abuja, for an alleged secret marriage.

Chuka, the petitioner, said in his divorce petition, "My wife moved out of our house without informing me. I later found her new location, and when I got there, I realized that she had married another man and already had a baby for him.

“It is on these grounds that I seek to dissolve the marriage between us,” he said.

He told the court that his wife had left him and their three children in 2020.

“I have been the one taking care of the children; I don’t want anyone to poison their minds against me. I beg this court to stop my wife from coming to my house to see my children in my absence.

“I beg this honorable court to dissolve the marriage and grant me custody of my three sons,” he pleaded.

The presiding judge, Mr Labaran Gusau, adjourned the matter until June 22, for further hearing
