The three-man panel presided over by Chief Awo Awosola, dissolved the marriage in a judgment following a petition filed by Suzanne. Other members of the panel of judges were: Mrs. Opeyemi Olanrewaju and Mr Kehinde Jacob Olayinka.
Emeka Ike and his estranged wife, Emma “From all evidence before the court, the marriage between the couple had broken down, and it is irreconcilable, consequently, the marriage is hereby dissolved”, said the court.
The court granted Emeka the custody of the four children, but ordered that Suzanne should be granted unhindered access to them. Either Suzanne or Emeka Ike has 30 days to appeal. The court also received a photocopy of a bank draft of N300 dated July 20, 2016, which the Suzanne used in refunding the bride price, paid to her family during their marriage.
Suzanne in the petition filed before the court accused Emeka of incessant beating, molestation, and torture, which she said she could no longer endure. But Emeka in his response denied beating, molesting or torturing his wife. He urged the court not to dissolve the marriage. He also informed the court that his wife had moved out of their matrimonial home five times without any reason.
He also told the court that the only time ‘devil’ entered their marriage, was when his wife paid for the children’s school fees.
From Vanguard.
So women that paid school fees of their children have allowed the devil to enter their homes. This man no get sense at all.
ReplyDeleteJust a pity that the children will be with the father. What a shame
So this one na Churchill partner? Issorai you people should continue beating una wives oo if una see unan fellow men dem now una go run
DeleteEpic fool! Should custody of the children be given to you since it's a pity they'll be with their father. Whatever happens between spouses doesn't diminish either parent's role to their child/children
DeleteSorry to deviate guys, be like say Daniella Okeke get belle o
DeleteI think he meant it as the wife started misbehaving after she paid the fees
DeleteToooooo badt! Its their kids I just pity in all of these. Tooooooh
DeleteAnon 20:19, I noticed it when she was on the Johnsons. She was too fat and I know it's only pregnancy that will make a girl leave herself like that.
DeleteSo it all finally came crashing down?
ReplyDeleteEmeka u said she Moved 5 times without a reason? As in,she just packed up and left just like that? And u never beat her? Issorai.
Sad as it may be,I hope u two find Happiness.
Emeka ike ku his wife ihe tinker na ku pan ehhh. Wonder why he won custody of the kids
DeleteAnd the court still gave him custody of the children? Nigeria we hail
DeleteThis is really sad,17 whole yes. I wish them the best.
DeleteWondering how and why he got the custody too. Did they find their mother incompetent? Interesting
DeleteGood.
ReplyDeleteThat guy is a big Ass hole
The way marriages are dissolving these days like salt and water solution, it makes me wonder if there is something in the air we breathe that only affects married people.
ReplyDeleteMonkey no fine pls invite me to ur house when your plan having the next threesome party pls.
DeleteAnything ordained by God, the devil always tries to destroy. That's why it's only when celebrities that have lived together for years decide to get married that wahala starts. Classic example is Brangelina!
DeleteNa real wa
ReplyDeleteWhat's about all these divorce here and there?God help us.
ReplyDeleteShe forgot to add cheating to his offences. Emeka be like person wey go sabi beat woman wella
ReplyDeleteWell, I wish them whatever they wish themselves in their future endeavors. If it really isn't working then go your separate ways.
ReplyDeleteA woman would just pack out of her. Home 5times for no reason, emeka try. Harder u are a beast, Eebooo men and beating of their spouse is 5 and 6
ReplyDeleteJust like my neighbour, dere are just engaged, d guy don't respect her at all, vals day he disappeared, on her birthday he was Forming busy. In d office, any slight provocatin na Slap, he. Drinks and clubs like is Life depends on it, all she does is clean his house andd cook for him, calling him BABBYY! I laff, we All know d end, we are watching, instead of her to Run Now, she Is looking for were To go pray For him, anoda chronicles loading.
She's really stupid. I pity her
DeleteJust negodu what women do to themselves.
DeleteAnon 19:47 she is stupid? Did you know what this woman suffered and endured in that marriage? I pray you suffer half of what that woman went through in you own marriage. Be spewing thrash on what you dont know. We in Shangisha/Magodo know her pain. Emeka Ike beat that woman anyhow and be saying she gave him badluck. Stupid igbo smoking man!
DeleteOde. Yoruba men wey no go take care of their wives, yet they beat and cheat on them.
DeleteAnon 19.47 that person isnot referring to emekas wife but the person engaged in the comment above
Delete300naira!!!!? Toh!
ReplyDeleteYes! My bride price was N1000. Some Pple pay as low as N60
DeleteSome people don't even pay at all or rather accept the bride price and have it returned to the groom's family.
DeleteMine was 5000 but it was returned sef according to tradition.
DeleteI do not understand the Nigerian courts. Why give custody to one parent? Also, why is it always the father they give custody to. Any other woman will make those kids lives hell. SMH!
ReplyDeleteThe judges must be men
DeleteDepends on the facts placed before the court. It doesn't stop the kids from visiting her and once they become adults, they can move to their mum.
DeleteWhy give emeka custody of the children.
ReplyDeleteAs in ehhh
DeleteAmazing. Will he even have time for them?
DeleteShould I say congratss to the wife?
ReplyDelete17 years????? Wow
ReplyDeleteNa wa o!
ReplyDeleteCouples should be more prayerful Cus the devil is really attacking the institution called marriage.
At least peace will reign now
ReplyDeleteWhy should emeka be granted custody of their children. It's terrible enough you hit your wife and expect her to respect you when you can't pay the kids tuition fees. What nonsense!
ReplyDeleteNa wa oh....After getting to 17 years and it's all over
ReplyDeleteHow can they grant a man access to the kids? Is it that they don't know the children needs their mother most??
ReplyDeleteChai this our country ehn.. Nonsense law
What the court considers in any part of the world is the wellbeing of the child/ren. The party that is most comfortable to take care of the child's upkeep and in most cases financially, is awarded the child. And of course if the child is in no danger with the said parent.
DeleteBut why did she insist on abandoning d marriage and her innocent children?? She must hv her eyes on other men
ReplyDeleteLol...obviously ur brain dey ur asshole
DeletePeacemaker u sure say one orobo no break ur heart in the past? Becos this ur hatred for fat girls is on another level o
DeleteIt's in matters like this that your mouth runs like tap, unintelligent goat.
DeleteNa wah for this your comment @ Peace maker.
DeleteHmmmm!!
Peace maker I SMH for u. Pls go and help her hold the marraige and chop all the beating
DeleteIdiota
DeleteFor the single ladies, emeka is single and ready to mingle.

DeleteSherry's Daughter

ReplyDeleteWhat a pity
So they dissolved the marriage against Emeka's wish? Pathetic!
ReplyDeleteBro Emmy when next you get married,do not raise a finger against your woman. Nkea buru gi lesson.
I still baffles me how any good mother will leave abandon children,live in another man's house and be asking for divorce. End time
ReplyDeleteShut up osiiso itiboribo
DeleteAs the end time idiot that you're, how won't it 'baffle' You? Useless human being.
DeleteUncle Agbaya#wehdonsah
DeleteSIGH! NA WA!
ReplyDeleteNawaaah..any woman that want to run out of her matrimonial home and start messing around without guilty conscience will just come up with DV bullcrap... From all indications Emeka want the marriage to work out but aunty Suzanne doesn't want the marriage anymore. She want to go and sample different men. Long mtcheeeeeeeew. Don't go and work on your marriage now that the guy is begging for you guys to make it work. You think the grass is greener on the other side? O.. K.. Wait till they sample your abunga tire and thrash you where you belong, that's when your eyes will clear vaaaaaam..
ReplyDeleteJust shut up pls! Who told u she has not tried to make it work? So she should stay there and die?
DeleteThank you dear. So many feminist will come and blast you now.
DeleteSeriously, she left to sample other men? Please bv's help me qualify this ozuwo!
DeleteSo after beating her severally he wants the Marriage to work.she should sit there and die while working on the marriage.she left him times meaning she forgave and went back to him those times but he continued.Just pray you don't experience it if u are truly a woman
DeleteDont say what you dont know @ intelligentsia princess. I was their neighbour in Magodo. The beating and abuse this woman suffered n Emeka Ike's hand is terrible,yes he beats her for no reason after smoking igbo. That woman endure o!and she is very humble. Emeka ey sick for brain,kolomental.
DeleteIts sooo easy to type whatever you want when you're not in the wife's shoes.
DeleteI know people who knew them and it is true he used to hit her for absolutely no reason. And you're saying she came up with DV as an excuse? How do you even reason?? Gosh. This is a horrible way of thinking, please learn a little empathy, it would take you a long way! I'm so disappointed a woman would think this way.
Sometimes a woman just wants TK get away from it all not necessarily because she wants to be with anyone but because she just wants peace and she doesn't want to die just cause she wants to be called Mrs!
Do you really expect him to admit in court that he used to beat his wife? Come on!
DeleteA typical abusive man would beg and beg to make it work yet go back to hitting the woman at the slightest opportunity. It's like they have two personalities. I've seen this happen countless times so please the fact that he was begging doesn't mean a thing
Ur comment portrays u as ignorant, insensitive and shallow. Read the book of Proverbs on how to communicate
DeleteWhy give the custody of the children to the Man. I cant deal for christ sake, you mean after suffering for 9months and catering for the kids physically and otherwise. All i will be left with is mere access to my 4 kids for life. Someone should explain this or else God will punish Satan. haba, I cant deal.
ReplyDeleteAdongerrit why men will not stand up to their responsibilities by paying children school fees and paying all the bills in the house, if you cannot pay children school fees remain single, do not Marry and start bringing in children into this world looking for a woman to perform your duties.
ReplyDeleteGood for them
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteIntelligentsia princess are you for real? The woman says he beats her and you want her to go back. Which sane woman will walk out of a 17 year old marriage without trying everything? May God forgive you for this statement. Someone left five times and you are saying she should go back. Is it because this time around his begging did not work? I am so annoyed right now. Gosh! How can you even say such a thing. Haven't you seen what happens to the women that try to make it work even though they were being physically abused every single day? It is people like you that are helping abusive monsters in our society. Please change your mentality and pray hard that what has befallen this woman will not come knocking at your door.
ReplyDeleteWhatever the woman says is the truth right?
DeleteAs in, her comment got me so upset! Someone moved out five times. Shouldn't that tell you that she's at a point where she's just tired of it all?
DeleteNa wah
LaFresh marry first then you will understand what I am saying up there. For her to leave 5 times it means that she kept forgiving him, but thank God she was sensible enough to leave before he put her 6 feet under. My dear, DV is no joke and it is always very hard for victims to leave their abusers. So, kudos to her for choosing to stay alive and free.
DeletePlease I just bought kayanmata set. Please is it jazz. Someone let me know so I can throw it all away Biko.
ReplyDeleteKayan Mata is not jazz but sex enhancers and sex candies! Just had to google it. Which website did you get it? They should be able to educate you there!
DeleteWelcome to the club darling. Kayan mata is not jazz o just sex enhancers and vagina tightening. Happy gbenshing o jare.
DeleteCustomary Court does not have jurisdiction over which of the parent will take care of the children. They will have to be referred to the family court,it is the the only court of law in Nigeria that have the authority to give the children to whoever deemed fit. Therefore the children will remain with whoever they were with before coming to customary court... Advice to mothers when moving out of your marriage, make sure you go with your children especially before going to court.
ReplyDeleteNa wha na real wha
ReplyDeleteWhy do I believe the woman is the bad person here. If Emeka is that bad as she painted him, the court won't grant him custody of the kids.
ReplyDeleteShe has packed out of her matrimonial home several times leaving the kids. Which woman does that?
In Nigeria, when the kids get to a certain age they belong to thr father. The father gets custody but if they are still very young they are allowed to stay with the mum. Nigerian courts do not give custody to women.
DeleteDon't bother explaining further, as Emeka is single now, you can as well mingle 😂. Then I will believe this your tory.
DeleteSwag Lafresh that woman is a very good woman o. I know them. Emeka is a junkie/drug addict. Pray you dont go through half of what that woman went through in Emeka Ike's hand,you can't survive the beating and abuse for no reason.
DeleteWhich judge give custody of the children to emeka .. ? Just negodu!
ReplyDelete17yrs gone with the wind, smh.
ReplyDeleteIntelligentsia princess please my dear, *kneels down* STOP smoking whatever it is you've been hooked on or atleast change your supplier.
ReplyDeleteYou fit never notice am now o, but your matter don dey pass be careful
From a BV that cares
As in!
DeleteNah real wah. .uncle emeka I'm available. .
ReplyDeleteAfter 17 years! Na wah
ReplyDeletePlease it's not only Igbos that beat their women. All tribes have their women beaters. So many women are in abusive relationships/marriages. I don't understand it
ReplyDeleteUntil u Eeboos accept dat not only yoruba men cheat On their women, we would All Accept ur statement
DeleteYou mean after 17yrs???
ReplyDeleteI guess Emeka is another Yoruba demon just disguising as an Igbo angel. Lol! Jokes apart, this story just goes to show that domestic violence has nothing to do with tribe. If Emeka in this report was a Tunde or Femi, yoruba people for don hear am in the comment section. There are just two races in the world - the good people and the bad people. To which do you belong?
ReplyDeleteThe devil is really attacking the institution of marriage & in the nearest decades to come the rate of divorce cases will be high if are not gonna do anything about it
ReplyDeleteAnything ordained by God, the devil always tries to destroy. That's why it's only when celebrities that have lived together for years decide to get married that wahala starts. Classic example is Brangelina!
ReplyDeleteVery useless example. So their union was ordained by God? He was married committing adultery and left his wife for Ms Jolie. Ode receive sense please.
I wish you all could remember what happened in gulder ultimate search all stars. You will be able to link emeka Ike's divorce and that of muma gee together. Emeka is also an infidel..... But I wonder how and why he was granted custody.
