A 50-year-old man, Mukhtar Ibrahim prayed a Shari’a court sitting in Kaduna, on Wednesday, to evict his estranged wife, Sa’adatu Abdulhadi from his house and grant him custody of his children.
The complainant who made the prayer through his counsel, Jamilu Sulaiman also prayed the court to confirm the third pronouncement of divorce he gave to the defendant.
“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 injury and bruises.
“Right now, I am sacred of my life and I can’t sleep with my two eyes closed since she had refused to leave the house”, he said.
The defendant was not in court but the court messenger confirmed serving her the court sermon.
The judge, Malam Isiyaku Abdulrahman adjourned the matter to July 10 for the defendant to respond to the allegations.
