A businessman has dragged his wife, Jane before a Customary Court in Jikwoyi Abuja, for an alleged secret marriage.

The man who is identified as Mr Chuka Emmanuel petitioned the court to nullify the marriage.

He told the court: "My wife moved out of our house without informing me. I later found her new location, when I got there I realize that she had married another man and already has a baby for him.

“It is on this grounds that I seek to dissolve the marriage between us,” he said.

He told the court that his wife left him and their three children in 2020.

“I have been the one taking care of the children, I don’t want anyone to poison their minds against me, I beg this court to stop my wife from coming to my house to see my children in my absence.

“I beg this honourable court to dissolve the marriage and grant me custody of my three sons.” he pleaded.

The presiding judge, Mr Labaran Gusau, adjourned the matter until June 22, for further hearing.
