Fausat Akinola, an Ibadan housewife told a Grade 'C' Customary Court, Agodi in Ibadan, that her husband she is married to for 15 years, Mr. Sarafa Akinola, used to tie her to a tree in front of their house.
The mother of three, said this on Thursday when testifying before the court in a divorce suit filed by her husband.
“My lord, I support the dissolution of the marriage because my husband used to tie me to a tree in our compound.
“Even there was a day he threw me inside a soak away and I was rescued by a neighbour.
“He treated me like a slave and was in the habit of beating me whenever we had misunderstandings.
“Dissolution of the marriage is a freedom from brutality and it will save me from untimely death though I have packed out of his house.’’ Fausat said.
