A 50-year-old man identified as Mukhtar Ibrahim has appealed for his ex-wife to be removed from his home by a Kaduna state Shari’a court.
He made the plea through his counsel, Jamilu Sulaiman on Wednesday, June 14, 2023.
Additionally, the complainant requested that the court uphold the third decree of divorce that he granted to his ex-wife Sa’adatu Abdulhadi.
Ibrahim claimed that the defendant makes him afraid and keeps him from getting any sleep, he testified before the court that she once asked members of her family to beat him up.
“I also want the custody of my four children because she lacks good manners; she had once called her family to beat me up, leaving me with injuries and bruises.
Right now, I am scared for my life and I can’t sleep with my two eyes closed since she refused to leave the house,” he said.
Although the defendant wasn’t present in court, the court messenger certified that she was served the sermon.
Malam Isiyaku Abdulrahman, the presiding judge, postponed the case to July 10 so that the defendant may refute the accusations.
