MY HUSBAND ABANDONES ME WHENEVER I AM PREGNANT..WORDS OF PREGNANT FATIMAH.

A pregnant fashion designer, Fatimah Shodunke who resides at James Street, Ishaga area of Lagos, has accused the husband of always abandoning her whenever she is pregnant, she told Agege Customary Court on Friday.

The 32-year-old mother of two, who is pregnant, is also a mother of two, she made the allegation while responding to a divorce suit file by her husband, Mr. Gbenga. She also claimed that her husband wanted her to abort her second pregnancy, but she objected, in her words,

She also told the court that Gbenga wanted her to abort her second pregnancy but she refused.

“My refusal to abort my pregnancy made my husband to pack out of the house to an unknown destination without bothering about the welfare our first child and myself until l gave birth."

She added that Gbenga took to his heels again in December, 2016, following her refusal to abort her third pregnancy.

However, she pleaded with the court not to dissolve their six years old marriage for the sake of the children, irrespective of the fact that her husband was irresponsible and beats her often.

Gbenga, who is a mechanic, responded with claims in the suit that Fatimah was troublesome and had been threating his life. He alleged that he moved out of his matrimonial home because Fatimah threatened to kill him with a knife.

The petitioner said that he was no longer interested in the union.

The Court President, Mr Phillip Williams, said that the court would do its best to save the marriage. He adjourned the case until May 2 for further hearing.
