My Wife Twists My Testicles During Fights – Husband Tells court

He beat me and removed my tooth, says wife.

An Igando Customary Court in Lagos State on Tuesday dissolved the five-year marriage between Mr. Chukwuma Onwumere and his wife, Obianuju over threats to life.

Onwumere,43, told court that his wife,34, always twist his testicles each time they had a fight, adding that she also fights him anytime he cautioned her for going out and returning at will.

“My wife had wanted to kill me by always grabbing my testicles anytime we were fighting. Apart from twisting my scrotum, she was always hitting me with dangerous weapons over trivial issues.

“She once cut me with a machete on my head during one of our fights,” he said.

Chukwuma also said his wife was fond of disrespecting him and his relations and prayed the court to dissolve the marriage.

In her submission, Obianuju, mother of two, denied all her husband’s allegations, saying he was actually a threat to her life.

“My husband was always beating me; all the scars on my body were as a result of his battering. There was a day he beat me and one of my teeth went off.

“There was also a night while sleeping that I saw my husband with a charm in his hand, moving round my bed and reciting some incantations.

“I quickly stood up from the bed, but he left my room and placed the charm at my doorstep.

“My husband took my property to my parents, saying that he was told by a spiritualist that I am a witch. He told my parents that he was no longer interested in our marriage.”

She, therefore, asked the court to grant her husband’s wish by dissolving the marriage.

The president of the court, Mr. Moses Akinniyi, in his verdict, dissolve the couple’s five-year-old marriage, saying both are free to go their separate ways.
