There was a drama at Ejigbo customary court, Lagos State western Nigeria, on Wednesday, when a man pleaded and offered to sign an undertaken as a condition to keep his wife and marriage. His action threw the court into amusement as the litigants and court officials were surprise at his offer.
The man, Waidi Yusuf was brought to the court by his wife Busayo seeking dissolution of their 13-year marriage that has produced three kids.
Busayo had approached the court on the grounds that she no longer loves Waidi because he was maltreating her despite the fact that she had children for him.
An embittered Busayo said that apart from maltreatinging her, Waisu abandoned her and her children and does not take care of them.
She told the court that she was no longer safe in the relationship and wanted the marriage to be dissolved so that she can move on with her life.
In his response, Waidi told the court that he was not ready to separate with his wife as he knew the consequence of divorce which will affect their children.
He pleaded with his wife and the court that he was ready to amend his bad ways and treat his wife and children with love and care.
He asked the court to discontinue the trial so that he would resolve the matter with his wife.
But when the wife insisted that she wanted divorce because of the attitude of her husband in the past, he offered to sign an undertaken to assure both the court and wife that he meant what he said before the court.
His action caused the litigants and court officials to laughing and amusement.
On that note, the president of the court Mrs Bolajoke observed that there was need to see if the parties will reconcile and live happily again.
She consequently adjourned the matter till 16 November 2015 to enable the couple to make peace and report to the court.
