I Will Kill My Wife If My Marriage Is Not Dissolved, Nigerian Man Insists

Chike Eze, 55, has prayed the Customary Court of Appeal to dissolve his marriage or else he will kill his wife.

Filing a petition before the court, Eze said love does not exist between him and his wife, Rachael and he wants the marriage dissolved as soon as possible.

Eze appeared before the court on Monday 14^th February and insist his marriage to Rachael be dissolved and save him from committing murder. Eze insists she has not gotten peace from the wife in the last two years.

“She is pushing me to the wall,” Eze told the court. “If I should retaliate, I will kill her. I don’t want to kill her so that I will not be charged to court for murder. The best option is for the court to end our marriage so that we can go our separate ways. She always hits me with dangerous weapons that inflict wounds on me. Rachael fights and rains curse on me every day. She once deflated my car tires and tore my clothes to pieces on several occasions.

“The last time, she picked up a standing mirror and threw it at me. The mirror landed on me and caused severe injuries on my leg. I have several scars on my body as a result of her assault on me,’’ Eze told the court

He presented pictures of scars and injuries as exhibits. He said the wife on most occasions went out without his consent. On the other hand, Rachael denied the allegations and accused the husband of infidelity. The case has been adjourned for further hearing.
