A housewife, Foluke Adesuyi, on Wednesday told an Akure Customary Court that her in-laws wanted her to be a slave to them.

Foluke, who was responding to some allegations from her husband, Adebisi, said that she could not totally align with the domineering principle of her in-laws.

She told the court that she had tried several means to pacify her husband and his family, but that they needed a woman who could not voice her wishes and opinion.

The respondent appealed to the court to consider her means of livelihood and order the petitioner to give her N500, 000.00 for sustenance.

Earlier, Adebisi, 41, and an iron fabricator, asked the court to dissolve his 14-year-old marriage to Foluke for alleged constant fighting.

Adebisi told the court that he could no longer cope with the endless curses by his wife, who he said, had no respect for his mother and other family members.

According to him, his wife does not care for the children and that she is stubborn.

In his ruling, the President of the court, Mr Ayodele Omotola, said that both parties should ensure peace, and adjourned the case till Nov. 1 for judgement.

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’. The Minister said by asking the US to refrain from selling warplanes and other military equipment to Nigeria based on a faulty premise, the Congressman has demonstrated a poor understanding of global security issues. ”Insecurity anywhere i
