NEWS: My police husband locked me in
cell for six days, says divorce-seeking woman
An Enugu State High Court on Monday gave
Kyrian Ibe, a policeman, and his wife , Lilian , till May 28 to settle their marital differences.
Lilian had urged the court to dissolve their
eight-year marriage for alleged maltreatment of the husband.
The petitioner also begged the court to award her custody of their four - year - old son held hostage by her husband .
She told the court that her husband , a
policeman was maltreating her , adding that he locked her up in police custody for six days for no reason and took their son .
“ My son is in the custody of his brother , Philip , and he also locked me up in the police cell for six days without cause , ” he said .
Ibe, in his response , had told the court that his wife was not submissive.
He said his wife had been having extra - marital affairs , adding that this led to her arrest and detention by the police .
“ She left my house for another man ’ s house and I led some policemen and arrested her, ’’ he said .
The respondent said that he still loved his wife and was ready for reconciliation to ensure that his family got back to its original state .
The judge , Justice Afamefuna Nwobodo , asked Lilian if she was ready to let her matrimonial home go .
Lilian told the court that she did not want to
leave her matrimonial home but wanted the court to save her from the husband’ s
maltreatment .
Nwobodo urged the respondent ’ s younger
brother and wife , Philip, to do their best and resolve the couple ’ s differences before the next sitting.
He adjourned the matters till May 28 for
reports of the proposed settlement .
