How my Driver ran mad after eating my wife's food- pastor tells court.

Pastor Gideon Johnson of No 4, Boripe St.,
Basorun-Ibadan, Oyo State, on Wednesday
accused his wife of poisoning his driver who then
allegedly ran mad after eating a meal she
prepared for him to eat.
Gideon said this at a Grade C Customary Court
sitting at Agodi-Ibadan, where he had gone to
seek the dissolution of his 17-year-old marriage
to with his wife, Oluwatoyin.
He accused his wife who had four children for him
of bad character and threats to his life and other
members of his family.
Gideon in his testimony told the court that he
gave the food his wife prepared for him to his
driver to eat.
He said, “The innocent driver ran mad few hours
after he had eaten the food and was chained
before we could take him to his family for
solution.
“She intended to run me mad, she is fetish,
diabolical and a threat to my life; in fact she killed
my senior brother and my father through her
fetish ways.
“She almost succeeded in ruining my ministry
when she ganged up with my enemies to spoil me
before the big personalities that usually come to
my church for prayers.”
The pastor also told the court that he had not
slept with his wife in the last 11 years because of
her bad characters.
Gideon said that he would kill his wife if the court
should decline his request to separate them.
However, Olwatoyin Johnson in her defence,
objected to the allegations levelled against her
and denied ever killing his father and brother- in-
law. The mother of four told the court that her husband
abandoned her 11 years ago when he married
another woman who had bore three kids for him.
She said, “He neither cared for me nor for the four
children of the marriage but was always abusing
me whenever he was preaching on the pulpit in
the church.
“He accused me of being a witch and possessed
spiritual power and I had challenged him to do
deliverance for me since he is a pastor.”
She, however, pleaded with the court not to
dissolve the marriage for the sake of the children.
The court’s president, Chief Mukaila Balogun,
dissolved the marriage and ordered two children
to be with the plaintiff while the custody of the
remaining two children should be with their
mother.
Balogun also ordered the plaintiff to be paying
N8,000 monthly as maintenance allowance for the
two children that are in the custody of their
mother.
He also directed the plaintiff to pay N12,000 as
house rent and N5,000 as transport fees for the
defendant to pack her load from the plaintiff’s
house.
The president warned the parties to maintain
peace and stay clear of anything that could bring
disharmony.
