The marriage was dissolved on the grounds of threat to life, provocation, stubbornness, lies and adultery.
The petitioner, Mr Emmanuel Jegede, 41, a clergyman, a resident at Irewumi quarters, opposite Bawa Estate, Ado-Ekiti, told the court that the respondent was arrogant, lazy, stubborn and unsupportive.
The respondent, Mrs Olubunmi Jegede, 39, a prophetess, trader and resident at No 31, Ifesowapo quarters, off Nova Road, Ado-Ekiti, denied all the allegations levelled against her.
She alleged that the petitioner was an adulterous man and that in 2008 alone, he committed adultery with five women in their church.
The respondent added that she even caught more women with the petitioner in their parish.
The mother of three children told the court that for two years, the petitioner abandoned her and the children.
She said the petitioner preferred to drink beer to stupor and smoke cigarettes instead of taking good care of her and the children.
The president of the court, Mrs Olayinka Akomolede, observed that the marriage had broken down irretrievably and consequently dissolved the marriage.
She awarded the custody of the three children to the respondent for proper care.
