A businesswoman, Patricia Philip, on Thursday, prayed a Customary Court in Garki, to dissolve the marriage between her and her husband, Ossai Philip, over alleged molestation.
The petitioner said this in a divorce petition she filed against her husband in court.
“My husband is constantly fighting and molesting me without justification. He beats me often and also uses abusive words on me.
“He reacts aggressively to literally every little provocation,” she said.
The petitioner said that all the ill treatment had caused her emotional distress and fear for her safety.
She told the court that she could no longer cope with her husband’s alleged violent behavior, which she said, had destroyed her trust and confidence in him.
She also told the court that she feared that continued cohabitation with the respondent may endanger her life and well being.
The respondent, Philip , who is a businessman, denied the allegations.
