My Wife Is Unfaithful, Goes Out With Different Men – Husband Tells Court

A Mararaba Upper Area Court, Nasarawa State, on Friday dissolved the 16-year -old marriage between Samson Apaila, and his wife, Grace, for infidelity and troublesome behaviour.

The judge, Ibrahim Shakarau, dissolved the marriage in the interest of peace, saying that the parties have ceased to be husband and wife henceforth, NAN reports.

“The parties are to maintain peace all the time, any violation of the order of this court will amount to contempt and of course with grave consequences.

“Also the parties should collect their divorce certificate from the registrar’s office,’’ he ordered.

Shakarau granted the petitioner custody of the three children produced by the 16-year-old marriage.

Apaila had told the court that he was married to the respondent since 2003, according to the native law and customs of Igala people, while the union produced three children.

“She is a very troublesome woman. She quarrels, nags and fights me at every slight provocation or without reason.

“She is an unfaithful wife, as she cannot stay at home and look after the children, but goes out with other men and even threatens to kill me whenever I raise the matter.

“Please, let this honourable court separate us, there is no longer love in the union and nothing can bring us together again,” Apaila told the court.

The petitioner also pleaded with the court to grant him the custody of two of the three children, while the last one, who is about five years old remain with the respondent, while he still takes responsibility.

The respondent who was in court, did not object to the separation, but asked the court to grant the petitioner’s request and to also grant him custody of the third child as well.

Federal Government Staff Housing Loans Board will henceforth seize mortgaged properties of retiring federal public servants who failed to fully repay the housing loans advanced to them by the board.

In a statement issued by the Staff Housing Loans Board Head, Information & PRU Obiechina Ngozi on Wednesday in Abuja reveals that this is in accordance with the Public Service Rules 021002 (p) as issued by the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation.

The OHCSF sent out the memo as a reminder for the federal public servants who are about to retire to adhere strictly to the provisions of the Public Service Rules.

The memo reads; “I am directed to bring to your attention the provision of Public Service Rule (PSR) 021002 (p), which mandates all public servants to obtain a Certificate of Non-indebtedness to the Federal Government Staff Housing Loans Board (FGSHLB) and any MDA Staff Multipurpose Cooperative Society, as issued by the OHCSF, as a prerequisite for retirement.”

“Further to the above, it should be noted that in the event of exiting the service prior to full repayment of the housing loan advanced by the FGSHLB, the Board shall exercise its legal right to seize the mortgaged property.”

Speaking on the above, Salamatu Ladi Ahmed, Executive Secretary, FGSHLB, reiterated that the warning is also for retired officers who defaulted.
She stated that the management of the Board, on its part, is compiling the list of all retired federal public servants who are still owing the housing loans they obtained while in service, to be sent to relevant regulatory agencies to recover the debts from them.

FGSHLB is committed to ensuring that all public servants comply with this rule and obtain the necessary Certificate of Non-indebtedness before retirement, and urge all those affected to take immediate action and settle any outstanding debts or liabilities with the Board.
