A former Super Eagles coach, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde, has filed a
divorce suit against his wife, Abiona, at the Ibadan Customary Grade C
Court sitting in Mapo.
Onigbinde told the court that his wife is violent and stubborn, adding that she was unwilling to live harmoniously with him.
When both appeared in court, the president of the court, Chief
Odunade Adewuyi told the wife about the allegations leveled against her.
When
asked if she wanted the marriage to be dissolved, Mrs. Onigbinde
replied in the negative, saying she did not know why a divorce suit was
filed against her.
do you think the marriage should not be dissolved? Which steps did you
take after your husband complained about these allegations? Does he like
your attitude? Let us say you are the husband and your wife says he
doesn’t want something, won’t you know?”
The
woman replied: “He said he doesn’t like it. He said I’m violent, but it
is not so. I called the first child and told him about it. Also, I told
my child and my husband’s elder brother. Our children went to beg him
but he refused.”
The
president and other members of the court, Elder E.A. Ogundipe and Chief
Raifu Raji, advised the woman to maintain peace with her husband.
Before the court adjourned hearing in the case, Onigbinde asked if
his life would be protected because he was nearly attacked when one of
the children and her husband came to his house.
