Shock As Divorce-Seeking Nigerian Housewife Who Admitted Adultery Is Sentenced

Confusion arose in an Ilorin Area Court when a judge sentenced Adenike Aliyu, a woman seeking a divorce, to three weeks of community service for admitting to adultery during her legal marriage.

Presiding Judge Hammad Ajumonbi, in his ruling, stated that the punishment would serve as a lesson to both the respondent and the general public.

“I am not inclined to discharge the respondent just like that.

“The respondent conceded to be impregnated by one Abdulazeez Asikolaye to produce another child while the marriage between her and the petitioner still subsists.

“The respondent is hereby sentenced to three weeks community service with effect from today,” the Judge ruled.

The respondent had on Feb. 10, 2023, filed for divorce, custody and maintenance of three children.

She told the court that she gave birth to three children for one Abdulfatai Ahmed, left him in 2021 and later gave birth to a fourth child for another man.

The marriage was dissolved on mutual agreement of the two parties but the ex-husband filed another case on March 27, 2023, for custody of the four children that Adenike Aliyu bore for him.

The former husband told the court that he named the fourth child.

”We still had sex after she left my house.

“I have a witness who will testify that the fourth child is mine,” he said.

The ex-husband later informed the court that, in the interest of justice and for the sake of his children, he decided to withdraw the complaint and consented to having the three children remain in the custody of their maternal grandmother.
