“My wife is fun of adultery, giving me no rest of mind since we got married and has no courtesy or respect for me and my family.
“Am tired of her, there was a time her boyfriend attacked me, he would have killed me if not for God, to the extent that I was hospitalised.
“If I delay the divorce, she would eventually kill me and marry her concubine,’’ he said.
