I hide money in the ceiling so that my wife won’t steal it , man tells court.

A businessman, Mutiu Bamgbose, told an Igando Customary Court in Lagos that his wife has a penchant for stealing.

Mr Bamgboye, who filed for divorce, also accused his wife, Aliyah, of infidelity.

“My wife is a thief, she is not always satisfied with what I give her, she keeps stealing my money at will,” the petitioner said.

“The most painful was when she stole my N3 million and squandered it.

“Because of her habit, I started keeping my money in the ceiling but she will still enter the ceiling and steal it.

“When I could no longer condole it, I opened a bank account and she became angry and made life miserable for me.

“It was obvious that my wife does not love me, she is just after my money.”

The embattled man accused his wife, who failed to appear in court after being summoned several times, of adultery.

“She started having affairs with a married man in our community, I approached the man and warned him seriously to desist from my wife.”
