Oluwatoyin Falade, 44, petitioned an Orile Agege Customary Court on Wednesday to annul her 11-year marriage on the grounds that Segun had committed adultery.
The petitioner has two children for Segun, ages eight and eleven, and resides at 23 Tunde Davids Close in Agege, Lagos.
“My spouse is a flirt; anything wearing a skirt makes him swoon.
Before I married him, I was the mother of two kids, ages 15 and 18. They stay with me, and because my husband pursues everything in a skirt, I don’t trust him.
“My husband changes women anyhow and he doesn’t respect me. If the court doesn’t dissolve the union, I will run away with my kids,” she burst into tears.
Oluwatoyin said that people mock her in the neighbourhood because of her husband’s infidelity.
” I am fed up, Segun cannot change, chasing after women and ladies has become the order of the day for him,” she said.
She alleged that he doesn’t take care of her and the children.

In his response, Segun, 46, a Lagos State Judiciary worker, admitted to infidelity.
“I will not lie, I bring in different women to the house but I am ready to change. I have been begging her to please forgive me,” he said.
He said he takes care of the children and his wife.
“My Lord, you can see that my wife is robust and fresh. It is obvious that she is not suffering.
“I bought her a phone recently and I pay the children’s school fees,” he said.
Segun said that he was not ready for the dissolution and promised to make things right if given another chance.
The Court’s President, Mr Adewale Adegoke, told both parties to be at peace with each other.
Adegoke adjourned the case until May 30 for an alternative dispute resolution mechanism (ADR)
