A 75-year-old man, Mr Fashola Fakorede, has urged a customary court in Igando, Lagos State, to end his marriage to his wife, 49-year-old Funke Fakorede who, he said, has turned him into a punching bag.
Fashola said his wife constantly beats him and inflicts injuries all over his body.
“My wife wants to kill me. She beats me everyday. I don’t want to die now, please save my life. She beats me if I ask for food or anything at all. All the scars on my body are as a result of her beatings,’’ he said.
