According to
the News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN), Amos, 40, had sought dissolution of their
marriage over alleged infidelity, troublemaking and child paternity against
Bukola.
The Ikorodu
Customary Court in Lagos State has dissolved a six-year-old marriage between a
herbalist, Fakoya Amos and his photographer wife, Bukola.
Dissolving
the marriage, the court president, Mrs Funmi Adeola, ordered the couple to
maintain peace.
She also ordered Bukola to
stop bearing the man’s name and return her child to the owner, after a DNA test
revealed the true father.
The court president said
“since it has been confirmed that the child does not belong to the petitioner,
you are hereby ordered to stop parading yourself as his wife.
“The child must be properly
taken care of and be taken to his biological father.”
Adeola had, during the
hearing, ruled that a DNA test be performed to confirm the paternity of the
child.
The herbalist, who resides
at UNILAG Estate in Ikorodu, Lagos State, had in February, urged the court to
dissolve the marriage, saying he suspected his wife was flirting.
He also said he suspected
the only child of the union was not his.
The respondent, Bukola, 30,
denied the allegations but admitted that she had an affair with another man,
which resulted in pregnancy.
The respondent, who also
accused her husband of battery, had earlier begged for reconciliation.
