I used fake juju to secure my wife’s fidelity

A father of three, Olanrewaju Aluko, has told an Ikole Ekiti Customary Court that he had to ask his wife, Tolu, to swear with a fake fetish object in his bid to prevent her from flirting around.
Aluko made the disclosure while testifying in a divorce petition instituted by his wife. “I am not fetish and occultic; I only asked Tolu to swear with a fake fetish substance, which I prepared to confirm her innocence when I suspected her to be flirting around,” he said.
Aluko also urged the court to grant him custody of their third child, saying the little girl was the only one that needed care.
Tolu had asked the court to dissolve her 16-year-old marriage on the premise that Aluko, her husband, was, “irresponsible and did not care for the three kids since they were born”. She further accused her husband of being diabolical, as he was in the habit of threatening her with charms and other fetish substances.
“I left his house with my kids in 2012, when I could no longer cope with his care-free attitude towards me and the children. But he kept on threatening to kill me with charms.
“I plead with this court to separate us but allow the three children aged 15, 13 and eight to remain in my custody so that I would continue to care for them and monitor their growth.
“The court should also order him never to threaten or disturb me, but should pay N20,000 as monthly allowance for the upkeep of the children,’’ she pleaded.
The President of the court, Mrs. Yemisi Ojo, dissolved the marriage and awarded custody of the children to Tolu.
She also ordered the defendant to pay N10,000 monthly upkeep allowance to the petitioner.
