Refund my money:Man says wife must refund N1.4M he spent to marry her in court because she has become unfaithful.

A middle-aged-man, Collins Nduka has pleaded with an Ojo Customary Court sitting in Lagos to dissolve his three year old marriage to his wife, Sefinat Nduka. He also requested that she be made to refund the N1.4million bride price paid on her.

Collins who has been married to his estranged wife for the past three years, told the court that she left her home for well over a year.

His words, “I would want a refund of the amount that I spent as marriage and dowry expenses because she has become unfaithful. My wife is not faithful to the marriage because she has other relationships apart from me and I no more love her.


“I invited my friends from outside the country to make the marriage an expensive one and after it, she wants to leave me for another man, I need my dowry so she can be free to do what she likes.”

“The most painful thing is that she has parked all my belongings in my house to an unknown place in addition to her emptying my shop which I stocked with over N750,000,” Nduka said.

He further prayed the court to end the three-year-old marriage, adding that Sefinat be ordered to return all the items she took from his house when parking out.


The President, Chief Joseph Ogunmola, however adjourned the case till May 19 for judgement.
