She told the court that Damilola did not paid her bride price and acted only as a “figurehead” claiming to be the head of the home while abandoning every responsibility.
According to her, she fed the family, paid the school fees of their five children, and worked tirelessly to keep the home running, yet he offered no support and instead rewarded her sacrifices with neglect and frequent beatings.

She said he eventually threw her out of the house in August last year, prompting her to seek freedom. She pleaded with the court to dissolve the union, grant her custody of the children, compel Damilola to provide for their feeding and education, and restrain him from invading her privacy.

Damilola, in his response, agreed that they should go their separate ways.
The court president, Mrs. S.M. Akintayo, adjourned the case until April 20,2026 for defence.
