A Lagos Island Customary Court on Thursday dissolved the marriage between Nollywood actor, Emeka Ike and his wife, Emma over an alleged incessant battery.
Emma, a teacher, had on July 13, 2015, approached the court to dissolve the 14-year-old marriage between her and the Nollywood star.
The court president, Mr Awos Awosola, said from the totality of the evidence before the court, it was obvious that the marriage was beyond redemption.
“Emeka, who has been begging to be reconciled with his wife, has not made any effort towards the reconciliation. The marriage is hereby dissolved with effect from March 2, in accordance with the Lagos State Customary Court Law, 2011; Order 3 Rule 7 as amended. Any party that is not satisfied with the judgment has the right to appeal to any court of higher jurisdiction within 30 days from today,’’ the court president ruled.
Awosola awarded the custody of their four children to the husband and ordered that the wife must have unhindered access to them.
He said that N300 paid as Emma’s bride price had been returned to Emeka and urged both parties to maintain peace. The mother of four had earlier told the court that her husband had been physically and verbally abusing her all through the duration of their marriage.
“My husband treated me like nobody and throughout this divorce tussle; he had denied me access to my children. He does not allow them to pick my call as he keeps changing their numbers.
The last time I heard my first son’s voice was when he was sick and about to undergo surgery. It was a friend who informed me that my son was in the hospital and I called Emeka asking him for the location of the hospital but he refused to disclose that,” his wife Emma said.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Democrats over their demands for US Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign, calling their actions a “total witch hunt”, AlJazeera reports.
Sessions on Thursday announced he would recuse himself from any probe into the presidential election campaign as the White House moved to forestall a snowballing controversy over its ties to Russia.
Following newly revealed meetings he held with Russia’s ambassador before the election, Sessions denied any impropriety or that he lied about those encounters in his Senate confirmation hearing.
The Republican US president declared his “total” confidence in Sessions – while adding he “wasn’t aware” of contacts between Ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Sessions, who was a senator actively supporting Trump’s campaign at the time.
He defended Sessions again in a statement calling Sessions an “honest man” and accusing Democrats of having “lost their grip on reality” and carrying out “a total witch hunt”.
Sessions “did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional”, said the president.
Unswayed by Sessions’s account of events, top Democrats are maintaining their calls for him to step down immediately, accusing him of perjury.
They also called for an independent prosecutor to investigate contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow, which US intelligence says interfered in the election to hurt Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton.
Adam Schiff, a Democratic ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, rejected Sessions’s claim that his contacts with Kislyak were unrelated to his work with the Trump campaign as “simply not credible”.
“In the midst of a Russian campaign aimed at undermining our election, and as a highly visible proxy for candidate Trump, Sessions would have had to be extraordinarily naive or gullible to believe that the ambassador was seeking him out in his office for a discussion on military matters, and Sessions is neither,” he said in a statement.
“I have come to the reluctant conclusion that the Attorney General should step down,” he said, echoing calls made earlier by the top Democrats in both chambers of the Republican-controlled Congress.
Focus on Russian diplomat
Trump has come under increasing pressure over Russia’s interference in the election and alleged contacts between his entourage and Moscow.
According to officials, US intelligence agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation continue to investigate just how and how much Moscow intruded into US politics, and whether that effort – which US intelligence chiefs say was directed by President Vladimir Putin – involved collusion with the Trump campaign.
Four congressional committees have opened probes into the issue, although Democrats fear that Republicans will seek to bury their investigations to protect Trump’s young administration.
Two weeks ago, Trump’s newly appointed national security advisor Michael Flynn was forced to resign amid controversy over his discussions with Kislyak in late December, when the Obama administration was hitting Moscow with retaliatory sanctions and expulsions for its election interference.
On Thursday, The New York Times reported that Flynn had also met the diplomat in Trump Tower in December, with Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner also in attendance.
While meetings between political campaigns and diplomats are generally common, on Thursday a Clinton spokesman said there were no meetings or calls between her team and any Russian official during the campaign.
Sessions met Russian envoy twice
Sessions’s own meetings with the envoy took place much earlier, in July and September, just as accusations of Russian interference in the election were mounting, according to The Washington Post.
However, Sessions told his
confirmation hearing in January he “did not have communications with the Russians” and did not know of any by other campaign staff.
Sessions on Thursday clarified his denial referred to contacts made on behalf of the campaign. He said he met Kislyak in his capacity as a senator, and discussed mainly global politics with him.
Nevertheless, after reviewing ethics rules for his office, he said: “I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for president of the United States.”
Speaking to Fox News Wednesday evening, he reiterated that he did not discuss the campaign with Kislyak.
“When I campaigned for Trump, I was not involved with anything like that,” he said. “You can be sure.”
Independent probe
Despite the swirling controversy, few hard facts are publicly available on what US investigators know and suspect about the contacts and about Russia’s alleged operation to disrupt the election last year.
The New York Times reported two weeks ago, citing US intelligence sources, that three Trump campaign staff had communicated with Russian intelligence officers over the past year.
The White House labeled that report “false” and has accused Democrats, the media and the intelligence community of a political effort to undermine the Trump administration.
Trump’s White House has lobbied the FBI, reportedly the CIA and two Republicans who head committees leading investigations into Russia’s election meddling, to knock down media reports on the alleged links.
That added to Democrat’s worries that investigations could be tainted, and lawmakers were pressing for an independent counsel to be named to study the web of allegations about Trump and Russia free from political interference.

Nsofor is one of the 46 on the ‘reviewed list’ for whom President Muhammadu Buhari was seeking legislative approval for their appointment.
The 82-year-old nominee was asked series of questions, which he responded to, but when Senator Gbenga Ashafa asked Nsofor to recite the anthem he declined to recite it, asking the lawmakers why he should do so.
Nsofor, after engaging the lawmakers in arguments, was eventually asked to take a bow and leave the venue.

Many foods increase the risk of cancer if you eat them constantly. Here are 10 most unhealthy guilty foods, which can lead to cancer!
Genetically modified fruits and vegetables – GMO
Genetically modified fruits and vegetables should not be included into our diet, since for their rapid growth there are used chemicals. But these products are everywhere! Avoid them whenever possible.
Processed meat
Most meat products, including sausages, bacon etc., contain chemicals that make them look fresh and appetizing, but which cause cancer. Both nitrate and nitrite of sodium are linked to the increased risk of colon cancer and other cancers.
It might be delicious, but the microwave popcorn is full of chemicals that cause not only infertility, but also liver and pancreas cancer.
Alongside with other guilty foods, sodas cause cancer. They are full of sugar, chemicals, and preservatives that nourish cancer cells. Common chemicals such as the colouring for caramel and its derivatives 4-methylimidazole (4-MI) are guilty of cancer.
Dietary drinks
Worse than sugar, dietary sweeteners like aspartame, one of the most common sweeteners, cause various diseases, including congenital malformations and cancer. Avoid these guilty foods that can lead to cancer.
White flour
Refined or white flours are found in all processed foods. The concentration of carbohydrates is a serious cause for concern. The consumption of refined carbohydrates can lead to breast cancer.
Refined sugars increase insulin levels quickly and help the cancerous cells to grow.
Dirty fruits
When buying fruits from the store, people think that they eat healthy. But this happens only if the fruits are organic, pesticide-free, otherwise they have an increased risk of causing cancer. 98% of conventional products are on the list of “dirty” guilty foods, full of cancer-causing pesticides.
Farmed salmon
Farmed salmon is another source of cancer. This fish not only lacks vitamin D, but it is often contaminated with carcinogenic chemicals, flame retardants, pesticides, and antibiotics.
Hydrogenated oils
They are often used in all sorts of foods to maintain stability.
Hydrogenated oils alter the structure and flexibility of cell membranes in the body and lead to the possibility of hosting such diseases as cancer.
