‘My husband is an OPC member, he wants to kill me with charms” – Wife cries in court

The popular cliché that says “what God has joined together, let no man put asunder” no longer hold waters between the once happily married couple of a teacher, Mrs Funmi Bello and Mr. Taofeek Bello as they are both fighting dirty in court for the dissolution of their three year old marriage.

The petitioner, Mrs. Bello lamented to the jurors at Ikorodu Customary Court in Lagos State that her major reason for filing for the termination of the once happy union was her husband’s involvement with the O’odua People’s’ Congress (OPC). She claimed that with his involvement, he often threatens her life with charms of all sorts.

Most importantly, Funmi also accused her husband of being an unrepentant woman torturer who hits her at any slightest provocation.

According to her, “Recently, I discovered that my husband had joined OPC when he was not sleeping at home.

He curses me and brings his co-members to threaten me. Please separate us; he has threatened to kill me and I don’t want to die now,” she said.

In a twist of tale, Mr. Bello, a father of one, confirmed he joined the OPC group but denied ever using charms to threaten his wife. However, he urged the court to intervene on his behalf to restore peace in his shaky marriage.

“Truly, I joined the OPC but I did not threaten her life with charms; I only brought my members home to help me warn her,” he said.

Having sensed the possibility of reconciliation, the presiding judge, Mrs Risikat Ekerin, warned both parties to stay out of each other’s trouble while she adjourned the case to another date.
