The 13-year-old-marriage of the branch Chairman of the Odua People’s Congress, Jimoh Falana, and his second wife, Funke, has been dissolved by an Agege Customary Court in Lagos over alleged adultery.
Jimoh had approached the court to dissolve his marriage to Funke, whom he also accused of being quarrelsome and troublesome.
The OPC leader also alleged that his wife slept with one of his subordinates, who kept bragging about the act. “She is very troublesome and aggressive. On a particular occasion, my wife threw a cup at me, tore my clothes in front of my colleagues and stabbed me in the stomach with a pair of scissors, because I opened a shop for my fourth wife. I am tired of the marriage; I want the court to separate us so that I can live a peaceful life.”
Responding, Funke, a mother of three, denied the allegations and objected to the dissolution of the marriage.She noted that her husband was lying, adding that Jimoh was giving her N1,000 monthly to cater for herself and her children.The President of the court, Patricia Adeyanju, held that the crisis in the marriage could endanger the lives of the couple if proactive steps were not taken and thereafter dissolved the marriage.
