A 50-year-old man, Mukhtar Ibrahim, on Wednesday, prayed a Shari’a court sitting in Kaduna to evict his former wife, Sa’adatu Abdulhadi, from his house.

The complainant, who prayed 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.

He added, “Right now, I am scared for my life, and I can’t sleep with my two eyes closed since she refused to leave the house.”

The defendant was not in court.

The judge, Isiyaku Abdulrahman, adjourned the matter to July 10 for the defendant to respond to the allegations.
