A Shari’a Court sitting at the Magajin Gari area of Kaduna, on Tuesday, ordered one Tajuddeen Murtala to leave his matrimonial home for his former wife, Hidayat Yusuf and their six children.
The Judge, Malam Mu’awiya Shehu, also ordered Murtala to continue taking full responsibility for his children.
The former wife had earlier prayed the court to grant her custody of their six children, and order Murtala to provide maintenance allowance for the family.
She said through her lawyer, Sadau Garba, that Murtala husband issued her the third divorce letter two weeks ago while nursing her 10-month-old baby.
The counsel added that Yusuf lives at Sardauna Crescent, Kaduna with the six children.
“We pray the court gives Yusuf custody of the children and make Murtala take responsibility for all their feeding, school, health and clothing.
“We pray he continues paying rent for the house she is living in with the children,” the counsel requested.
The counsel pleaded with the court to make Murtala leave the house as they are no longer a married couple, to avoid an untoward incidence.
The case has been adjourned to November 24 for further hearing.
