A mother of four children – Jemila Chinwe – has appealed to an Area Court in Centre-Igboro, Ilorin, to increase the N20,000 feeding allowance earlier granted her to N80,000.
The applicant complained to the court that she is not finding it easy catering to the needs of the children since her separation from her ex-husband six years ago.
“I am not objecting to the court judgment of September 19, 2018, on divorce, which awarded me N20,000 as custody and feeding allowance.
“I know what I went through to get my former husband to increase it to N40,000. I swallowed my pride and he increased it after three years. The N40,000 is not enough,” she said.
The presiding Judge, Toyin Aluko, said:” Having gone through the judgment of this court, the matter was concluded by the same court in 2018.
“We don’t have the power to review the case”.
Aluko held that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the suit.
