A man called Iliasu Salami has lost his five-year-old marriage to irreconcilable political differences between him and his wife, Rashidat.

The differences caused the wife to stop having regards for him, and his opinions did not count in their affairs. This started when his wife joined a different political party against his instruction and wish.

 “All efforts to resolve the issue by both families failed,” Salami said, and pleaded with the court to terminate the marriage.

The President of the customary court, Chief Adelodun Oyegbenle, said, “Rashidat’s refusal to show up in court after several summons and the evidences tendered by the husband on the political differences between them are enough to show that no love is lost between the couple.

 “It is unfortunate that the defendant (Rashidat) did not attend any of the court proceedings despite court summons.  This court hereby dissolves the five-year-old union.”

Salami will be paying N10,000 monthly upkeep allowance for the two children of the failed marriage.
