One James Daniel has applied for divorce at Area Court, Center-Igboro, Ilorin after 25 years of relationship with Tosin Akinrinade, over alleged stubborn attitude and refusal to change for good.

The applicant told the court that he had a misunderstanding with his wife which made her to destroy some of his belongings and sold others without his consent.

Daniel, a father of two, pleaded to court for separation and help him live a peaceful life without emotional stress and issues.

The presiding Judge, Aminullahi AbdulLateef, said that court could not grant divorce to a relationship that had no official backing, saying that the applicant and respondent had not married officially.

The judge however, said that the respondent should be served to respond to the claims.

The court adjourned the case to August 14, for respondent reaction.
