Court declares indictment of SSG by assembly illegal, null, of no effect

A housewife, Sherifat Olokoba, on Thursday asked an Area Court in Ilorin to dissolve her 26-year-old marriage to husband, Saadu on grounds that she no longer loves him.
The husband has, however, also said she could go as she wishes.
“My lord, we got married in 1994 and we have four children. I want an end to this marriage because I no longer love Saadu. I cannot continue to make myself unhappy.
“We don’t have time for each other anymore. I am becoming frustrated because he doesn’t care for me anymore,” she told the court.
Saadu, who did not object to the petitioner’s prayer, said: “She is free to go.
“My Lord, let her go as she wishes. She is free to go, ” he consented.
The Presiding Judge, Abdulhameed Aliyu, dissolved the union.
