She said: “He took me to a Muslim cleric, who gave me a substance and told me not to get close to my husband for some time."
She continued;“My husband then told me to move to my parents’ house but l refused. This led to a series of misunderstandings between us.
“He sae wants to be rich this year by any means and that he must build houses and buy cars. I said there is no problem with that, as long as he doesn’t use me for money rituals.
“He connived with some officers and they made me write a statement under duress, then forcefully took my children away from me, claiming I was mentally unstable. I had to run for my dear life when I realised he was making efforts to use me for money rituals.”
The respondent, Adewale Oguntoye, who resides at 4, Oluyomi Olusesi Street, Iju-Ishaga, Lagos, however, denied the allegations, but was ready for the dissolution of the marriage.
