365Daily – The broken marriage of Chief Cassidy Nduka Iloba, a former Senior Special Assistant to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State has continued to draw public attention in and around Asaba, the state capital.
Cassidy and his estranged wife, Eucharia, were love birds who were joined in matrimony on 14th November, 2003.Theirs was a generally regarded happy union that produced children and witnessed prosperity as evident in their growth from a little bungalow they were residing to an impressive home in Umuagu.
But that house which brought much joy in the marriage is now under contention in a court of law over who owns it following the request for dissolution of the union. Cassidy is reportedly claiming that it belongs to him and his first wife who died before he married Eucharia, while she is saying it is a joint property of both of them.
According to filings at Ibusa High Court, the journey to the divorce began with Cassidy abusing his wife physically constantly, despite numerous visits to all police formations within and outside Asaba, and even FCID in Abuja, where Eucharia laid complaints of his actions.
The case at the Ibusa High court, A/36d/2019, which was instituted by her since 2019 came up on 15/11/2022 and Mr Cassidy was docked. It was adjourned to January 30, 2023.
It was gathered that aside the No.123 Ibusa Road, Umuagu, Asaba home, other allegations against him includes the abandonment of his undergraduate two sons, who now cater for themselves. In one of the court papers, Eucharia accused her husband of constant harassment of her, her customers and her staff, as well as locking up her business which is her sole source of livelihood.
