Wife said, "my husband sleeps with our daughters" to court.

A 63-year-old businesswoman, Mrs. Mabel Alli, on Friday prayed at Igando Customary Court in Lagos, to end her 41-year-old marriage to husband, Richard, alleging that he sleeps with his daughters and has impregnated her sister.

She told the court that her husband sexually molested her

"After impregnating my sister, he took one of our daughters to the hospital for abortion.

"My 13-year-old girl also reported to me that he always sneaks in his room to have sex with him.

"I have caught my husband red handed on our third daughter. My friends and domestic staff are not exempted, I've got them too much, "NAN quoted her as saying.

The petitioner said that his husband was fetish and also wanted to use her money in ritual in order to finance her political ambition.
"He has duties to various herbalists in Badagry, Sango and other places for money ritual; I followed him

"I stopped following him in herbalists when the last herbalist had taken me to ask him, but I got used to one of our daughters.

"He told me that I should stop following my husband as he wanted to use me for ritual or make me mad, so he would inherit my properties which include cars and houses.

"My husband collects money from me using charms, but he finally lost the election.

Mabel has alleged that her husband does not care

"Everything rests on me, I shoulder all his responsibilities or feeding the family, paying the children's school fees among other responsibilities.

I beg the court to terminate this union. I am no longer interested because my husband wants to kill me, "she told the court.

However, Richard, who denied all the allegations, welcomed the divorce suit, saying he was no longer interested in the marriage.
