"On many occasions, I went to bed hungry even though my wife had more than enough money to provide for our needs. She refused to offer me any form of assistance or support.

"In an attempt to humiliate me, my wife accused me of being diabolical.

"Mercy alleged that I used charms whenever we slept together and that I was draining her fortune.

"She constantly harassed and threatened me, denying me peace of mind.

"I eventually left our home because I no longer found joy in living with my wife. Our relationship had clearly deteriorated.

"Since then, Mercy has denied me access to our home and our children. She also refused to answer my calls.

"The last time I visited to see our children, she attacked me and damaged my mobile phone.

"My Lord, I am exhausted by my wife's hostility. I respectfully plead with the court to dissolve our marriage.

"I also seek custody of our children and request an order restraining my wife from threatening or harassing me."

Following the testimony, the court president, Mrs. O. E. Owoseni, adjourned the case for further hearing.
