Drama as Kaduna court remands man to ‘think of how to provide for his 4 children’
A Shari’a Court in Kaduna on Wednesday ordered that a man should be remanded for some time to enable him think and come up with plans of how he will provide for the welfare of his four children.
The petitioner and mother of children, Hajara Sani, had prayed the court to help her recover some of her properties from the man, Musa Hussaini.
She claimed that the accused had sold her two chairs and a television and made her sell her bed.
“I gave him the money I got from selling the bed shortly before he divorced me,” Hajara said.
“I want the court to confirm the three pronouncements of divorce Hussaini made to me. I also want the court to order my former husband to be responsible for the upkeep of our four children,” she said.
Hussaini confirmed making three pronouncements of divorce at intervals.
However, he said he sold the items with the consent of the complainant and used the proceeds to repair his vulcanizing tools.
According to him, he sold the television and chairs for N5,000, adding that the complainant gave him N6500 after the bed was sold.
Hussaini prayed the court to allow him to pay her installmentally, proposing to pay her N2000 weekly.
On the children’s welfare, he said he had no plans for them.
However, the presiding judge, Malam Mukhtar Aliyu, ordered that he should be remanded to enable him to think on how to provide for his children.
Thereafter, the case was adjourned until Sept. 25 for further hearing.
