Friday, May 30, 2025 - A woman in Osi-Igoba, Akure, Ondo State, Mrs Stella Ayowale, has approached the court after her husband allegedly sold their jointly owned family home and car without her consent, before relocating abroad after telling her he was travelling to Abuja for business.
Ayowale, married for three years with no child, was
reportedly unaware of her husband’s actions until representatives of the new
owner visited their home on May 26, 2025, presenting a sale receipt and
demanding she vacate the premises.
According to Mrs Ayowale, her husband, Michael, had informed
her he was travelling to Abuja on a business contract, leaving her with N20,000
to cover household expenses for the week.
She only realised the true situation when she was served
notice by the buyers.
She also revealed that her husband’s relatives have
distanced themselves from her since the sale, raising concerns she might have
been deliberately excluded from the decision-making process.
According to Ondo State Govt owned publication, Hope
Newspaper, a neighbour has provided temporary accommodation for Mrs Ayowale
while she seeks assistance from her family and legal counsel.
The case underscores the challenges spouses face in
protecting jointly owned assets and highlights the importance of legal
safeguards in property transactions.
It was further gathered that Mrs Ayowale is determined to
recover her rights through legal means as the matter progresses.
Community members have expressed sympathy, noting the
emotional and financial difficulties involved.
