There was a mixture of drama and confusion in an Area Court in Ilorin on Thursday, when a woman, Mulikat Yusuf, slumped after her husband, Ishaq Abdulganiyu, insisted on divorcing her.
Abdulganiyu told the court that he is no longer interested in the marriage.
Earlier, Yusuf told the court that she is not ready for divorce after giving birth to six children, wondering where else she would go.
She was deep in thought as she walked out of the court, after hearing her husband’s application for divorce and slumped.
The court officials revived her after splashing water on her.
The presiding judge, Mr. Toyin Aluko, advised her to explore every opportunity within her reach to settle the misunderstanding between her and her husband.
The case was adjourned to December 10, for a report of settlement or hearing.
