A 46-year-old man, Ogah Alexander, on Thursday told a Mararaba Upper Area Court that his wife Helen, disrespects and beats him to pulp.
Alexander, of Aso C Mararaba, told the court that “my wife beats and disrespects me because I am deformed in one side of my hands”.

He urged the court to dissolve his 13-year-old marriage to Helen contracted in 2003 and the marriage is blessed with four children for disrespect and beating.

The petitioner said he once bought a car for his wife but he discovered that she gave the car to a pastor of a church called Ark of Dominion without his knowledge or consent.

“When I asked her about the car, she lied to me that she only packed it in the pastor’s house.

“But surprisingly the pastor and his family came to my house with the car thinking I travelled.

“I came back from work one day and she told me that the pastor had an accident with car and when I confronted her that I did not give the car to the pastor, she slapped me.

“I received the beating of my life from her for asking to the extent that she grabbed my sex organ and tried to kill me,” Alexander said.
