A 46-year old man in Nigeria is seeking divorce and some of the reasons he has given to the court are shocking–including countless abuse from his wife.
The man, Ogah A., reportedly told Mararaba Upper Area Court that his wife, Helen, beats the hell out of him because he is physically challenged.
According to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the man has asked the court to end his 13-years marriage from which he has four children with his wife.
“My wife beats and disrespects me because I am deformed in my hand,” the man said.
Ogah also told the court that, “I came back from work one day and she told me that the pastor had an accident with the car and when I confronted her that I did not give the car to the pastor, she slapped me. I received the beating of my life from her to the extent that she grabbed my private parts and tried to kill me.”
The man informed the court that for more than a year now, he has not had sex with his wife owning to an injury he sustained when she grabbed his private part.
Ibrahim Shekaru, the judge hearing the case has adjourned the case to September 2, 2016–and the wife, Hellen, was also missing in court.
