My Husband ‘Fingers’ Our Daughters While Bathing Them – Wife Tells Judge

A woman, Mrs Adenike Dossou, has

accused her husband of “manipulation”

their children while giving them a bath.

Mrs Dossou, a civil servant, who is

seeking the dissolution of her 12-year-old

marriage to Segun Dossou, an

Immigration Officer, at a Lagos Island

Customary Court, said her husband

always volunteered to bath their children

while she handled the cooking.

“I was shocked when our first daughter

told me that she is growing and didn’t

like what her dad did to her,” she said.

Mrs Dossou said on three occasions, she

didn’t find her husband beside her at

night, adding whenever she searched for

him, she saw him sleeping beside their

children.

She said: “I scolded him and asked if he

wanted to ruin our children’s life but he

didn’t respond. I am in support of the

dissolution because I know he wants our

children in his custody to continue his

misdeeds.”

Mrs Dossou added that the only thing her

husband is interested in is charm adding

that there were times he wouldn’t go to

work but he gets paid.

“I went with him to Cotonou to seal our

union in their registry. I was just signing

documents; I don’t know what was

written in the papers. I don’t love him

anymore and I don’t want to give my girls

to live with him,” she said.

Mr Dossou, 39, said their marriage

troubles started when his wife got a job.

“She is a thief, she steals government’s

property. She brought cement and coal tar

home. It was her attitude that made us

fight and she left me.

I just want our daughters. I don’t love or

need her anymore,” he said.

The marriage produced three children

between ages 8, 10 and 12.

The president, Chief Awos Awosola,

advised them to be very careful with

their utterances and adjourned the case

till October 7 for judgment.
