A house wife, Bilkisu Ahmad on Tuesday dragged her husband, Sulaiman before a Shari’a court in Kaduna for allegedly selling her room furniture.
The complainant who resides in Rigasa Area of Kaduna, told the court that her husband sold her furniture following his inability to provide her with shelter and food for over one year.
“I have been living with my parents for over a year. I want a divorce if he can’t take care of me,” Bilkisu said.
Responding, Sulaiman, denied any wrongdoing.
He did not deny the claims that he sold the furniture.
”I was going through hard times financially and couldn’t provide for my family.
“I love my wife and I am ready to work hard to cater for her needs,” he said.
Sulaiman handed his estrange wife a N1,000 note in the court and promised to get an apartment soon.
The judge, Malam Salisu Abubakar-Tureta, adjourned the matter until March 28 for the outcome of possible reconciliation.
The judge also ordered the defendant to give his wife N500 daily until the matter has been settled.
