He explained that despite his unstable job, he always prioritised his home, ensuring that food and household essentials were bought in advance to prevent his wife from ever complaining of hunger.
He told the court:
"I want to make sure I don't hear 'one day, there is no food in this house.' So what I do is buy ahead. Even if I don't have cash, I make sure she has what she needs."
Wife refuses to pay daughter's hospital bill
According to the husband, the breaking point in their relationship occurred when their daughter fell ill and was admitted to the hospital.
When the hospital presented a bill of N24,000, the husband did not have the cash on hand, unbeknownst to him, his wife was standing right next to him in the hospital with over N600,000 sitting in her bank account.
He said before the court:
"Why I did not approach her to give me money is because, even before then, I was struggling to send her money to eat at her workplace. Meanwhile, this person had more than N600,000 in her account."
The husband revealed that he only discovered his wife’s financial status after seizing her phone during an argument. According to him within 12 hours of him seizing her phone, she casually went out and purchased a brand-new phone for N319,000.
While the husband presented his case with visible frustration, his wife, standing at the opposite defense stand, was captured smiling and smirking throughout his testimony.
