The judge took this decision after the accused, Mrs. Seinab Adebayo told the court that she was made to swear an oath to keep the secret that her husband was not the biological father of their 3 children, adding that it was a deal between the two of them.
Mrs. Seinab Adebayo who is pregnant, told the court that her husband was also not responsible for the pregnancy,
Mr. Adewale, who is the plaintiff, had early this month, dragged his wife to court for packing out of his house with their three children without his consent.
But the wife said she packed out of the house because her husband, whom she said got married to her 12 years ago, was not the biological father of the children and was not responsible for the pregnancy.
Seinab however, told the court that she could not reveal the details of the secret until her husband brought the oracle with which they swore the oath to court to release her from it. In her words, “I cannot give the details of the secret of who the real father of the children is until I am released from the oath. I will urge the court to order my husband to bring the oracle with which we swore the oath to court and release me from it before I can reveal the secret.”
Her husband, who did not deny the allegation, insisted that he was the biological father of the children.
Delivering his ruling on the matter, the court’s President, Mr. Olatunji Kanimodo, ordered Adewale to bring the oracle with which they swore to an oath to the court in the next adjourned date. Kanimodo stated that the order was imperative for the court to get the full details of the case, and adjourned the case to April 27.
