The gavel of justice

A 32-year-old housewife, Adetuyi Esther, on Wednesday approached an Ado-Ekiti Customary Court seeking dissolution of her seven-year-old marriage to her husband, Ajayi.

Esther is seeking the dissolution on grounds of desertion, regular curses on her and her family and lack of care for her and the only child.

Esther, residing at No 28 Basiri, Ado-Ekiti, told the court that her husband had abandoned her and the child since two years ago when he left for Lagos.

She said he told her to relocate with him, but she could not because she could not live with his family members.

The mother of one said there was a day, her brother called to tell her that the husband was raining curses on him and their mother, saying that they were behind her refusal to relocate with him.

According to her, whenever her husband visited Ado-Ekiti, he always threatened that bad things will happen to her if she refused to bring his child.

Esther alleged that the husband was not taking care of her and the child since he left them, saying she had been responsible for the child’s welfare with her small salary.

She claimed that whenever she called him for the child’s school fees, he would refuse to pay until the child was returned to him.

Esther said that he told her that he would attend the court‎ proceedings because he had married another woman.
She, therefore, prayed the court to dissolve the marriage and award her the custody of the child.

The Court President, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, adjourned the case to Nov. 3 for judgment.

While the exact impact of these attacks remains unclear, reports suggest that Israel’s defense systems intercepted several threats over its airspace.

Fall of Assad is a Blow to Russia's Prestige

The potential fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, a long-standing ally of Russia, would mark a turning point in Moscow’s global influence, particularly in the Middle East. Steve Rosenberg’s analysis underscores the profound implications for Russia, which has invested heavily—both militarily and politically—in ensuring Assad’s survival over the past decade. This article delves into why Assad’s downfall would strike at the core of Russian prestige and what it could mean for the broader geopolitical landscape. Russia's Strategic Commitment to Syria Since the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Russia has been a staunch supporter of Assad's regime. In 2015, Moscow launched a military intervention that proved decisive in stabilizing Assad’s hold on power. This intervention solidified Russia's role as a key power broker in the Middle East and demonstrated its willingness to project military power far beyond its borders.
