A 39 year old prophetess, Mrs Olubunmi Jegede, told an Ado-Ekiti Customary Court, that her husband, a prophet, in 2008 committed adultery with five women in their church.
Olubunmi made the statement on Thursday when she testified in a divorce petition filed by her husband, Mr Emmanuel Jegede.
According to Olubunmi, Emmanuel preferred to drink beer to stupor and smoke cigarettes instead of taking good care of his family.
She said, ”I am responsible for the school fees of our second child, Elizabeth, 6, since 2015 to date.”
She urged the court to grant the prayer of the petitioner but that she be given custody of the children.
He explained that the respondent was not willing to work to assist him in taking care of the kid’s welfare.
President of the court, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, observed that the marriage had broken down irretrievably and consequently dissolved the marriage.
Akomolede awarded the custody of the three children to the respondent for proper care.
She said Emmanuel will be responsible for the education of the children at all levels and he is granted unrestricted access to his children between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.
