An Ibadan-based house wife, Tawakalitu Adeoye, a fashion designer has narrated before the Mapo Customary Court in the Oyo state capital, how her husband, Hakeem, who is an Alfa, had been having sexual intercourse with her for the purpose of making rituals..
She told the stunned court, that she was ignorantly submitting to her husband’s quest for morning and evening sex, without knowing that he had planted a charm, Tira under her pillow, before hand.
And each time after the sex romp, she would find her strength had been totally drained.

Her account:
“It all began when Hakeem started requesting for sexual intercourse from me every morning and night without any particular reason, an act which he was initially not used to.
“Firstly, he takes his bath and then rush me to bed, sleeping with me.
“Each time he finished with me, I felt weak, subdued, restless and completely shattered physically and psychologically.
“Until I made the discovery, Hakeem had planted a charm (Tira) under my pillow for two good weeks without my knowledge and I had laid my head on it.
“Then, I reported him at Eleyele Police Headquarter in Ibadan, but he pleaded with the police to prevail on me not to implicate him.
“He also told my relatives that I lied against him and that I must retract the statement of which I accused him of trying to use me for ritual”.
The woman said the worse was that the husband was equally flexing muscles on her without any provocation:
“Worst still, Hakeem derives pleasure in turning me into a punching bag at any slightest opportunity.
“These and many more are the reasons why I had to pack away from his home since Oct. 27.
“Please save my life from Hakeem because he is spiritually diabolic”.
“My lord, if I had listened to my parents’ advice that I should not enter into any marital vows with Hakeem, maybe life would have been pleasant with me today”, she said..
In his counter argument, however, the respondent refuted all the allegations leveled against him
while consenting to the divorce suit, Hakeem who earned his living as an Alfa submitted that his wife merely cooked up what she said so as to get sympathy of the court
“I will like this court to take note of the fact that Tawakalitu is so adulterous and I have caught her several times in the act.
“In fact, she and her secret lovers usually chat in my presence every night.
“My mother had also advised me not to marry her from the onset because of her bad attitude.
“There is nothing I have not done to satisfy Tawakalitu.”
The president of the court, Chief Ademola Odunade, holding that the court did not joke with any issue that had to do with life, dissolved the three year-old marriage citing threat to life and ritual making.
He adde:
“It is also obvious that there is no more love between Tawakalitu and Hakeem as a result of their differences.
“In the interest of peaceful living, the union between the duo has ceased to be.
“Custody of the three-year-old child produced by the union is awarded to Tawakalitu and Hakeem shall pay a monthly allowance of N5,000 for the child’s upkeep in addition to been responsible for her education and other welfare”.
