Divorce-seeking Kaduna woman demands N200,000 in damages from husband
A divorce-seeking woman, Doris Omega, has urged an Upper Customary Court in Kafanchan, Kaduna State, to dissolve her marriage and order her husband, Daniel, to pay her N200, 000 in damages.
Ms Omega told the court that her husband has lost interest in her and has become a “nagging partner.”
“My husband doesn’t look after me anymore. I also don’t have peace of mind with him at home. He is always threatening to kick me out of the house. I have five children for him. I am pleading with this honourable court to dissolve our marriage,” she added.
She prayed the court to order her husband to also pay N100, 000 monthly for the upkeep of their five children.
The judge, Emmanuel Samaila, adjourned the matter until May 28 for hearing.
