NIGERIA – Pastor David Odeniyi has initiated legal proceedings to dissolve his marriage with his wife, Bolanle, citing disturbing allegations of domestic violence and public humiliation.
He detailed instances where Bolanle subjected him to physical abuse and resorted to public shaming tactics, including an incident where she stripped him naked during a church service.
Additionally, Pastor Odeniyi accused Bolanle of abandonment, revealing how she traveled to Libya without his consent, leaving their child behind.
Despite seeking reconciliation through legal channels previously, he revisited the court due to Bolanle’s failure to amend her behavior.
During the court proceedings, Bolanle was noticeably absent when called upon to defend herself against the allegations, complicating the matter further.
The court’s President, Mrs. S.M. Akintayo, acknowledged the gravity of the allegations and granted Odeniyi’s request for a divorce, issuing an order restraining Bolanle from further harassment or interference in her estranged husband’s private life.
