A 37-year-old woman, identified as Linda, has approached a Kaduna customary court seeking the dissolution of her six-year marriage to Felix Stephen, citing unbearable sexual demands.
During a recent hearing, Linda told the court that her husband’s excessive desire for intimacy had become overwhelming, making it impossible for her to continue in the marriage.

Lady urges court to grant divorce
She claimed that he often subjected her to prolonged intercourse from midnight until morning, disregarding her distress and pleas for him to stop.
“I urge the court to dissolve this marriage because I can’t stand his excessive sexual urge; he likes sex too much and I can’t bear it,” she stated.
“Most times, he would have sex with me from midnight till the early hours of the morning; even when I was crying, he would not stop.”
Linda further accused Stephen of lacking self-control, alleging that he resorted to physical violence whenever she resisted his advances. She added that these incidents often occurred in the presence of their two children.
According to her, she moved out of their matrimonial home three months ago to escape the situation. However, she claimed that her husband’s relatives have been pleading with her to return, unaware of the extent of the challenges she faced in the marriage.
Husband promises to change
In his defense, Stephen appealed to the court for reconciliation rather than divorce, expressing willingness to change. He assured the court that he was now prepared to exercise restraint and work towards a resolution.
“I took my uncles and friends to her parent’s house to plead with her, but she refused to listen to us; instead, she walked out on us,” he told the court.
Presiding over the case, Judge John Dauda adjourned the proceedings until May 6, granting time for possible reconciliation. He urged both parties to remain peaceful while efforts to resolve the matter continue.
Woman divorces husband after winning N1.5 billion
Earlier, TheTalk.NG reported that a woman in the US had to give up her N1.5 billion lottery prize to her former husband after she hid the money from him during their divorce. The woman, Denise Rossi, won the jackpot 11 days before she filed for divorce from Thomas Rossi, her husband of 25 years.
She did not tell him or the court about her winnings and hoped to keep them for herself.
However, her plan backfired when a letter from a company that paid lottery winners was mistakenly sent to Thomas’s apartment two years after their separation. Thomas was stunned to learn that his ex-wife had won N1.5 billion in the California State Lottery and received N25 million yearly.
