A Lagos State University, LASU lecturer, Suraju Oyekunle, is reportedly facing a humiliating dilemma in his marriage after his wife openly confessed to being in love with a bricklayer.

The wife, Kafayat, who is said to be pregnant for the bricklayer, said she prefers to spend the rest of her life with him, P.M News is reporting.

According to the report, the 36-year-old wife moved out of her matrimonial home in October when her husband traveled, and then moved in with Mr. Alimi, who was living in the same Igando community where she and her husband were living in Lagos.

She was said to have taken along with her, a 12-year-old son she had for her husband.

The lecturer is, however, reportedly working hard to save his 13-year-old marriage to Kafayat as he lodged a complaint against him at the police station and 34-year-old Alimi was arrested by the police.

He was arraigned before Chief Magistrate, Mrs. O. A Layinka at an Ikeja Chief Magistrates’ Court weekend for conduct likely to cause breach of peace.

Speaking before the court, Kafayat vowed to do all she could to secure freedom for Alimi.

She said she left her marriage because she and her husband were unable to get another child during their 13 years in marriage, and that the husband wasn’t taking good care of her.

She added that she became pregnant for her lover few months after they met, and that with him, she was now living in peace.

“He is better off than my husband in everything and my family supports my relationship with him,” she stated.

The accuse pleaded not guilty.

The chief magistrate reportedly granted him bail in the sum of N25, 000, ordering that he be remanded in prison custody until he meets the bail conditions.

The matter was adjourned till December 12 for trial.
