Court dissolves 21-year-old due to wife's infidelity

By -
(Nigeria) A Grade III Customary Court in Osogbo, Osun State, on Thursday dissolved the 21-year-old marriage between one Joseph Akinola and  Kudirat  Akinola.
Akinola asked the court to dissolve the marriage, after accusing his wife of infidelity, unfaithfulness and stubbornness.
``My wife is in love with another man; I found his picture under her pillow, she was sleeping with his picture even when we were together.''
Akinola said his wife was influenced by a woman, Iya Shina, who was always inviting her to her residence.
``I know she was influenced by her friend, Iya Shina, who always invited my wife to her house. She was not like this when I married her; I met her as a virgin, so I am convinced she was influenced. Although we have three children together, I pray the court to separate us since we have been leaving separately when she moved out of my house five years ago,’’ he said.
 Kudirat, however, told the court that what her husband said was true.
``I got the picture he found with me from a photographer and it is true I am dating another man; if he wants us separated, I am ready to leave him,’’ she said.
The President of the court, Chief Nasiru Odelola, dissolved the marriage, saying that it was evident that the two no longer love each other.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law.

He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at
