The marriage which Idowu said is 2years old plus was contracted in 2011 but yet to produce any child.

"My Lord, I want an end to this marriage since my wife cannot control her tongue for a second," he said.

Ganiyat, however, objected to the prayer of her husband, saying she was still interested in the marriage.

"My husband knows I am the type that shares my problems with others to seek for their opinion; but I am ready to stop that habit in order to please him," she said.

She prayed the court for an adjournment for her to make reconciliatory moves.

The presiding judge, Ibrahim Abdulkadri, adjourned the case to Aug. 20 for a report of settlement or continuation of hearing.
