A 55-year-old man, Hassan Jimoh, has prayed a Sharia Court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna State, for divorce and an order of eviction on his wife, Silifat Salawuddeen.
Jimoh prayed the court to grant his divorce application over irreconcilable differences with his wife.
“I married her as a widower. We have spent five years together but I am tired now because there is no love and peace anymore.
“She brought her children from her first marriage to my house. I told her to return them to their father but she refused,” he said
Jimoh told the court that he also gave Silifat N50,000 to rent an apartment somewhere else yet she refused to vacate his house.
In her defence, Silifat told the court that she refused to vacate the apartment because the N50,000 Jimoh gave her was not enough to rent a new place.
“I used the money he gave me to pay my debts on food items I collected on credit.
“My husband has not kept to his words of providing for the family for four months,” she claimed.
The Judge, Rilwanu Kyaudai, adjourned the matter to September14 for ruling on whether or not to grant Jimoh’s request for eviction.
